SLP Composite Hood [pictures inside]
My apologies to those who requested these pictures some weeks ago. I suppose better late than never, yes? Anyhow... hope you gentlemen enjoy.

Price can be found on SLP's website which is where I purchased from. At the time, shipping was free due to the Christmas holidays.
Paint and install will probably vary from shop to shop. Find someone reputable in your area and see what they are able to do for you.

SLP is in fact an OEM supplier and supplied thousands of hoods to GM for both the Camaro and the Pontiac WS6.
Their fit, finish and quality control is second to none.
Couple of questions if you don't mind.
1. By best guess; how does the weight compare to the OEM fiberglass hood....heavier or lighter I hope?
2. Do you know if this particular hood would clear the Maggie supercharger?
Thanks in advance for your help.

1. In regards to weight... the hoods are identical. Nothing lost, nothing gained.
2. The hood will not clear the Maggie. In fact, if you have an aftermarket CAI, you may experience some rubbing on the underside if the intake sits up a little to high.

Looks great!
It looks like it has some sort of CAI airbox on the backside, but the outlets are on the back so it can't be CAI - what is that?

Under acceleration; the mouth on the front of the hood ingests forced air under velocity and it enters the dual composite chambers underneath the hood and releases the cold air where the dual openings are directly into the engine bar.
If the process was reserved; it would be a Heat Extractor Hood rather than a Ram Air Intake Hood as this SLP hood is.
