Default SS Hood Insert?

I searched but didn't exactly find what I was looking for. There is an aftermarket SS hood on the 98z28 I bought, however it doesn't have the insert. Where can I get one and how much does it usually run as far as $$ goes?

Thanks.

If your talking about the insert for the induction part of the hood, depending on the quality of the hood, a stock GM plastic part should fit.

As for price, you ain't gonna like it.... If I remember correct, I paid around 65.00 for mine from the dealer.

Good luck,

Kev

dont do red, it draws WAY too much attention away from the entire rear. Do flat black, something subtle. And if you liek that you should do some flat black ss badges but that's what im doin so **** you haha jk
