I personally think there would be a HUGE market if the price was right

Here's one http://www.dgmotorsports.com/process...&ProcessType=8 that has a modified SS 'look' but it has a huge bulge in it instead of the more subtle SS hood, I think it's $1100.00 though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
I would also like to see a plain stock flat one available for an even more 'stealth' look and more weight savings.

Carbon Fiber is a little to extreme for me. I'll be happy with a Fiberglass hood! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Harwood now makes an "ss" bolt on hood for the 98-02 camaro. i dont know how much it weighs though. carhoods.com makes one, but its heavy and expensive. and there is one more place but i cant think of the name. a person on this board has one.

Tom, is that the Harwood bolt on SS hood? Harwood didn't have a weight, and Summit only tells me that the shipping weight is 45. I wonder how much the packing is.

Anyone know the weight of the stock SS hood?

I have a spare but wrecked 00 SS hood and it was 51 lbs with no hardware on it. It's heavy because it's really nice quality...

The VFN 3" SS hood is 25 lbs FYI.

My stock SS hood weighed 51 lbs with the latch still on the front and NO hinges. Mine IS NOT a Harwood hood. Mine weighs 15 lbs.
