Default Anybody recognize this hood?

Who makes it, are they available for 98-02s, etc? Thought since the car was from Texas, someone may recognize it. Thanks, Shawn

I am almost 100% sure that Slomaro's hood is the Mike Moran hood that VFN offers, but I may be wrong. The silver hood posted in the original post looks like the hood as well, only in the 93-97 version. I asked Slomaro a while back if it was the VFN hood, but he never replied.

RAV,

I totally agree. I like the hood itself, BUT definately wouldn't have it on a car that couldn't back it up or at the same time, didn't need it.
I think it would be rather...get this one...." Rice-esh"....
