Mine is a Suncoast Creations hood, it was already on the car when I bought it. The big reason why I like it on my car is because it is a direct ram air and with my custom intake set up it pulls in a lot of air. There was a company out of Texas that had copied Suncoast Design and was selling them on ebay years ago for camaro's and TA's, it may be one of theirs.

It may have been the one I mentioned off ebay, it was a guy from Texas who was making the knock-offs of the Suncoast style. How is the quality of the one you have? Thats odd that the nostrils aren't cut out also.

it looks to be of pretty good quality. it is sturdy and looks straight. I have no idea of fitment tho due to not having my car at the moment.

yeah the nostrils are not cut out and there is no air path over them (slp)

i know that trying to find out who made it could be kinda dumb but i wanna know. its going on my car either way (even tho i have already had 2 offers to buy it).

Thanks for those who complimented my car; I have had a few people try to make some crappy comments on my hood, but I thinks it looks great on my car and the direct ram air my engine benefits from a lot. It fits like a factory hood and the quality is superb. The pic that was posted was crappy cause it was taken with a shitty camera that made the car look kinda oblong. Here is a better shot with my fog light mod a week ago...
