Default SS hood ID

This is for those that want to ID a true SS hood
not coming out real good in the watered down pic
but it has US patent XXXXXXXX and Made in Canada
on the flat portion of hood in center behind scoop
just ahead of the rear bracing.

They taste different too. The aftermarket knock offs are made from polyester fiberglass and are very bitter....The SMC resin used in the OE hood tastes like waffles.

Not all have it. At least not all the EARLY SS hoods. I have a 01 SS hood and a 98 SS hood. Yes the 01 has the numbers but my 98 doesn't yet put both hoods next to eachother and they are EXACTLY the same. The OE tape is on both, the seal for the air box there too, the grills are exaclty the same as well.

All I can say mybe the patent wasn't done yet on the early SS hoods.

If you could "like" things on here, I would have. This is a pretty sweet quote and I may steal it for my sig.
