Default I Must Find This Hood!

i have been looking all over the internet for this hood, but i cant seem to find it. Does anyone have any insight? It may be a custom job, can anyone guess what that might cost? Thanks for your help.

Very much not a fan of it. But I did search, maybe at this time it is a one off type deal.

I would check with RK Sports or someone of that level.

(IMO this is MUCH better looking of a hood and def more tasteful.)

Man that doesn't look very good at all. Looks like some one just slapped some WS6 nostrils on it.

Agreed, it looks like they took a WS6 hood and cut the nostrils out then put them on the stock GTO hood...

Thats funny, im not a big fan of that hood at all. i guess to each his own. I'm looking for a more aggressive look to match the exhaust sound. I've looked at the banshee hood, but something about it screams ricer to me. I guess i'll just have to go with trying to find an oem 05-06 hood. Thanks for your input guys

they sell the scoops separately. they are called warbird scoops and i know theyve been grafted onto several different hoods, never seen them on a GTO before. there might be other names for it as well.

OP, ive never seen that hood anywhere. Its probably a custom job, unless someone out there is making these but ive never seen them offered anywhere.

Go with the Sunoco hood from VFN Fiberglass. That will give you the aggressive look you want to go with the exhaust sound. If i ever got a GTO, that's definately the hood ill be getting for it. Only hood ive liked so far and im with you, i dont like the OEM LS2 GTO's hoods.

I'm a fan of the factory 05-06 Grand Prix Ram air hood. (sorry I mean GTO lol!)

Edit: As a side-note I bet GM would have sold way more 04-06 GTO's if they would have just called it the new Grand Prix V8 coupe. Just my 2cents.


Edit:Edit:

the Banshee ram air hood is as close as your going to get the that pic you posted.

EEEEW! Good luck finding it. I don't know any company that would make that. You could try to have VFN make it for you.
