Does a 00 SS have a functional hood? A guy I met had a 00 SS, and looked like a SS except I noticed one thing. It had the 98-02 SS hood, but the hood did not connect to the airbox. I thought all SS had a functional hood?
I was not able to see any of the RPO codes.

Well the SS hoods don't really function anyway. The useful air comes from the front airdam. On a stock SS hood the air has to travel in such a convoluted manner through small routing that it's basically useless.

If you pop the hood and follow the runners on a stock hood you will see that they rap all the way back around and have slits in them for the air box. But what works even better is the K@N FIPK system cause it puts the air filter directly if front of the slits. Thats what I have on my 2000 ss and I noticed a dramatic difference in installing this.

yes look at the sticker on the door and if you find a WU8 code its definitely authentic. Though i dont know why anyone would want to turn a z28 into an ss by buying aftermarket parts because it costs virtually the same as buying a factory one.
