We have multiple versions of the C6 ZR1 Corvette hood available but the one that really stands out is our C6 ZR1 Corvette Monster Hood (http://www.zip-corvette.com/ProductDetails/ProductDetails.aspx?pid={D83C4B74-FEFF-4FB2-AE81-5AAED674FCAF}). The monster hood fits all 2005 and up C6 Corvettes. With over 4″ of additional engine clearance above your Corvette’s stock hood, the monster hood is the largest hood on the market. The monster ZR1 hood will clear all superchargers including the Magnuson Magna Charger (http://www.zip-corvette.com/GroupDetails/GroupLanding2.aspx?gid={f7d7a4af-5e60-43fd-9327-7873a1ee3c85}&SearchType=_GROUP_SEARCH&GroupName=Magnuson+Superchargers) and undeniably show your Corvette has something special under the hood. The clear window as seen on the stock C6 ZR1 hood is not included, however if you are interested in a ZR1 replica hood with the clear window option you can read more here (http://corvette-parts.zip-corvette.com/corvette/Corvette%20ZR1%20Replica%20Hood).

The ZR1 Corvette monster hood is manufactured using RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) technology. RTM technology creates a part of OEM quality by injecting fiberglass into a mold and then compressing it under high pressure. This manufacturing method creates a panel that is smooth on both sides with a consistent thickness across the entire surface. The controlled fiberglass/resin composition of RTM, reduces cure times and eliminates the possibility of “wet” parts being removed from the mold prematurely; all of which is impossible with the standard hand laying process. Panels are then trimmed using a CNC robotic water jet for a clean, smooth cut on every part. The result is a better fitting hood ultimately reducing body shop installation and fitment times.

ACS, the manufacturer of the ZR1 monster hood includes all OEM brackets mounted to the inner structure of the hood to insure a ready to bolt on part. The hood also has another feature not found in aftermarket Corvette hoods but is present on the stock hood, reinforcements at the rear of the hood for the hood bumpers and crash tabs. These brackets create the reinforcement necessary in a front end collision to cause the hood to fold in half instead of coming through the windshield.
