Default Corvette Creationz CF hood...

Not good at high speeds... Attended a 1/2 mi event a couple of weeks ago. Hood somehow got air underneath which resulted in it buckling... don't try this at home kids....




Pics taken a couple days ago.... Hood popped right back into place...

Thanks.. and yes, it is an extractor hood. however, it is Very Light, and Very pliable.... Looks great!!! and is awesome at 80-100 mph....

Not so much at 130 plus.....

I have ordered the TigerShark hood to go with my TS front fascia, rear bumper... Ligenfelter has tested that hood @ 160 w no issues...

Good looking car, your lucky it didn't cause major damage.


I bought a CC front spoiler and it was crap, both of the ones they sent to me. Then when looking for a hood to clear my Edelbrock intake they said I could just cut the lower panel out of the extractor hood, slightlyre-reinforce and it, and it would be good for higher standing mile speeds I bought a VIS cowl hood and after some trimming and a little gusseting it is steady at 188+

Gorgeous vette. Gorgeous.

Like Jdawg said, glad it didn't do more damage!!!

We had a 1 mile event a few years back..a fella there with a red vette..also had a carbon cowl hood but NO extractor vents(that I remember)...that thing blew right off the car at I would say atleast half track. Didn't end well for hood but the car also continued.

The side skirts and front lip spoiler, what brands if you don't mind me asking?
