From QuikZo6 on this forum! $770 shipped! Best price on a CF hood I've found!

Heres his link on this forum. He should have some more hoods mid July.

Link to the thread and some other pics of the hood.

Hmmm...I just traded a Black '07 C6 for my '11 TR GS vert. I don't remember the lense covers being so dark when the lights weren't on. Interesting...Thanks!

Perhaps its just the angle and lighting of this pic. I could be wrong.

Love the hood on your z but 3 grand is to pricey for me. Hoping to spend a 1300 or under.

Zip Corvette's can order them. They told me appox. 3 to 4 weeks and assured me the quality had not changed.

A friend of mine has one on his C5 and it's the finest aftermarket hood i've ever seen. The design is perfect and the fit/finish is the best i've seen, inside and out.

I may have to order one now, it's only money.

Am i the only one that thinks a carbon hood thats not painted to match the car just makes it look like a junkyard piece that someone got to replace a damaged hood?

Nope. You are not alone. It nets paint with some carbon fiber showing, otherwise, to me it looks too unfinished.
