Not bad looking at all, with a 6le splitter kit and this hood would make a 4th gen more up to date

Anyone near that city in Cali that can take a look at the hood and post some pics for the enthusiasts?

Could always send the insert to emblempros for a hydrodip.

This would look better on the lt1 cars being they aren't round and look like a catfish. Im down to chop up my hood if I can find a cheap hood blister.

Its extreme dimensions that make this hood, I emailed them asking for more pictures of the 93-97 hood.

, the ad in ebay at least says they are located in this city. Not sure where, but if they are legit.. I don't see a problem with someone viewing the hood

We actually gave them a photoshop of this hood when we were going to make it before through them for my personal build...



Ended up with a lot of issues involving time to get parts, hit and miss fitment, etc... so never did. We plan to go down next week with a car to test and if it seems good we'll carry them.

I think the LT1 hood looks great, but as far as I can tell, the hood pictured for the LT1 is probably a photoshop, I've never seen it before.

yep, thats what I was saying earlier in the thread, all of the pics of this hood are photoshops. they have it on both 4th gen body styles as well as the 3rd gen cars. If you look at the pics, they each have the same hood scoop photoshopped on to them, none of the hoods pictured are real.

Well crap, I'd say that they're just some eBay scammers and this will be another hood down the tubes.

They just ps'd the entire cowl portion of the 5th gen ZL1 hood and blended to the 4th. Im gonna go out on a limb here and say on a curvy sunoco type cowl, this is gonna look out of place. I may try a ps tonite of this scoop on an actual 4th gen hood, if I get my other projects done.

The photo doesn't look like a Sunoco though. On the LT1 car, it looks wider than a Sunoco, but more narrow than the Harwood Cowl. That's why I'm wondering if all this is BS since they don't show any side views or actual views on a car. I hope not, because this hood looks good.....if it's real!
