Default heat extractor hood?

Hi, This is my first post. I've been reading alot and love the site.

I'm probably gonna take the plunge and buy a C5 in the next couple of weeks. I looked at one that was great except for some pretty serious stratches on the hood. I decided that i might as well look into an aftermarket hood since the stock one would have to be painted. Are their any hoods that have the louvered vents on top while maintaining the stock profile(no cowl). I just want to add a little flair.

Thanks ahead of time.

C5R hood... way too many louvers for me though.... There is a hood that is no kidding called the heat extractor hood... that is the best looking one in my opinion, just search for it on google and I think that you should be able to find it, Also sign up at corvetteforum.com, there is a HUGE c5 community there and everyone is very helpfull

Specter Werks makes a hood, ACP, ACI, MCM make a few good looking hoods. There are lots to choose from and there are many threads on the ZO6 forum about these hoods too.
I'm looking for one too but I want a C5R replica hood and cant find one yet, still looking.

IDK I dont really like that hood... Check out TBYRNE motorsports they have a good selection, with what I believe is the one that you are looking for
