Hello all,
Keeping it short and sweet, I'm wandering if anyone knows of a C5 hood similiar to that of the black C6 that was on Supercars Exposed. I noticed the link on the home page clicked it and realized that was the same car I saw earlier this year. I've been looking high and low for hood like that (pronounced induction vents). Any ideas??

I tried to insert a pic but I can't insert links until 10 posts.

You are talking about the one from Hiteck right? I am not sure if anyone makes a hood like that one for the C5s.

Yep, that's the one. What i like about the hood are the pronounced induction vents. For the most part, they don't have to be like the Hi-tech hood. It's not too big of a deal I've a got a year to hammer out the minute details.

I dont know of a company that makes on just like it for the C5 but VIS has a hood similar to it. You can find the same hood on ebay for half the price from the same company.

Very nice thank you Millennium. I probably should have prefaced my question with this tidbit. If you had a hood similiar to this does it leave ample room for performance upgrades/addtions?
