Aftermarket hood - vote your favorite
I am looking at some aftermarket hoods. Goal is to find one with function (cooling) and looks good.
1)Which one do you think looks best?
2)Also any thoughts on which hood cools best @ the track?
3) How many degrees F to expect
Here are the pics I found on the forum and other sites...
LG World Challenge hood
ECC Stinger Hood
Starcraft Supercharger hood
CES Starcraft Hood
ACP Hood
MCM hood

Just got back from SEMA, you might want to look at the hood on Jay Leno's new Z, it's the best looking hood I have seen for a Z
I'm sure it will be featured in all of the new magazines in the next few months

A lot of you guys like the MCM. It's a great looking hood. Thanks for the pic doingok
The MCM & ACP hood look good on the Z and they both appear to asist in cooling down the car. I didn't really consider the downforce aspect, will have to see at those 150MPH + runs

Hood decision
After looking at all these hoods, in pictures and in some in person, I came ot a conclusion that none seem to have the build quality of the stock hood. And so I went on a mission to create my own. The result was a hood with stock looking functional vents/louvers that keep the engine bay a little cooler, and help minimize lift at high speed. Click on the links below to see larger pictures.
I know......

Here is the C6RS hood from the best angle. IMO
I think it looks amazing..but do not care for the LSR fenders.
LPE Comm (since I have a C6)
MCM if I had a Z06
