God, I wish I could remember the name of that site. I found a site that does lots of fiberglass hoods and stuff, and it had replicas of all the stock types, as well as this stinger hood looking one. If I remember it I'll post the link for you.

This is one of the WS6 and the WS9 Outlaw. I almost bought the one on the right with the flames. But I couldnt get a loan from the banks. Then after I didnt get it, I ended up deploying so now Im having to wait again for Trans am. But these are some beautiful cars.

Very not true. The Harwood ram air hood that I had on my camaro bolted right on and fit great and I've heard the same about VFN and Suncoast hoods. I've read several complaints about the quality of the hoods sold by the guy on ebay making Superhawk replicas. Although I think I've read that U.S Exotics is back in business but might only be making viper parts I hope thats not true I'd love to have a real superhawk hood someday.

Default Aftermarket Hood






I bought this Hood from Summit Racing in December of 2017 for just under seven hundred bucks. Got it painted and installed for another 750$ All of the factory Hardware bolted right up and operates just like the factory hood. the end of the snorkels are blanked off but I installed a set of replacement ram air grills from carid.com over the ends of the snorkels and they fit extremely well. Oh yeah, here's model #, Harwood Fiberglass Show Series Bolt-On Hoods B-20302. I've been very happy with this hood. I will upload some pictures of the hood with the grills installed in the morning, I never got around to taking updated pictures yet.
