what hood is this??? (pic attached)

i love the look of this cowl hood, but i have no idea who makes it. its similar to a VFN or a ASCD, but the actual cowl in the pic looks "smoother" on the sides. any idea who makes this hood? i dont think its vfn, glasstek, or ascd

That's better!

That hood!

Very nice, not the one I was thinking, but very nice indeed!

I noticed that car has the bulged out fenders and the bigger lip under the grille, maybe a harrell edition??? I know somebody on here know!

It is the GMMG Dick Harrell widebody car.... based after the blue GM Performance Parts #6 one-off car. I have been wanting that hood since day one!!

As far as I know it is not being produced, but hopefully GMMG or SOMEONE will pick up the ball.

GMMG is building 33 Dick Harrell cars, with that body kit and hood.

The parts by themselves will not be offered to the public by GMMG.

Yeah, I knew before looking what hood was going to pop up.

Are any of you sponsors listening?
VFN?
VFN was thinking about making it, then wasn't, now they are looking at a design that is similar but not the same... still nice though, and nothing like what is available now.

IMO this cowl hood is what I think of when I think cowl hood. This is what they all should have looked like from day one in the aftermarket. I don't know what they were thinking when they started producing the cowl hoods out now, they look like a cheap generic cowl scoop thoughtlessly glued onto a 4th gen hood.
Harwood is the only one that made a unique design, took them long enough, too bad it is butt ugly.
I am not slamming any manufacturer specifically, except Harwood

, I think they all dropped the ball.

lol, i edited the post so fast i didint think anyone had caught that!

so theres no way (well, no EASY way) for me to get my hands on a similar hood then? crap! sponsors: you guys should really consider this design, the smooth transition of the cowl makes it look great (unlike the "hsarp edges" of the current ones). just my opinion anyways...
