Nope. A v8 hood produces too much power (heat ), that's why they only ever made them for 4-cylinders.








Seriously, no no one makes them for any F-body, Y-body, GTO, etc.

Get a good piece of lexan and figerglass it in the hood. That is what the ZR1 looks to have done.

How did I fail if I guessed exactly what he was doing? LOL

It should be unique for sure! Don't listen to these people talking down your idea. You go ahead and give it the best finish you can and you will have all of the sleek beek people around here praising your name! If you do a shoddy job then you deserve the Fail! Good luck with the car.
