I took a ton of pics for you guys, some are the pics from when we were fitting it, and the last group of shots are from a quasi photoshoot. Hope you all enjoy!

Pics look good.. what does the underside look like?

Im debating on this hood or the SS hood, but i think this hood looks to plan to a black car.

I honestly was unsure of how this would look on and LT1 but I think it looks GREAT! I can't wait to see it on a red Z with gloss black roof, headlight buckets and side stripes on the cowl...

VFN rocks !

keep in mind my car is dirty as hell in these pictures, and that hood is only gel coated, however, it looks amazing in person.

So, is that hood a plug or is out of a mold?

In other words, is it a stock hood with a scoop molded onto it and the whole thing will be used as a plug to make a mold out of or is it past that stage and this is the first hood to come out of the mold?

It looks like it flows even better than the LS1 version (look at where they meet the windshield, the LT1 goes further, angles down and blends better):





maybe it's just because of the way the windshield wiper is different on LS1s :

#2 FTW

IMO, those concept sketches should have never been made public.

Thanks for giving us a preview Phantomzer0.

no problem! but i think those pictures were good cause they gave us all alot to drool over, and i dont think they deviated much at all from the concepts except for the lines that are on all 98+ hoods.
