Default What company makes/sells this front-end?

Any ideas of manufacturers or vendors?

Perhaps there are other alternatives. I'm open.



Thanks!

I like the nose, although not very "vette-ish". The bulging hood is pretty ugly, however. Where did the photo come from??

Ugly car in that picture.

Two ram-air slots on a single hood isn't appealing.

Don't care for the front end nose either.

Just my .02 cents.

I'd like to know the manufacturer so I can send them cease and desist letters.

THanks, I appreciate that. I got their World Challenge Hood already. I like the more oval looking /ferrari-look front end of the "Geiger's" model. It also lets in more air. The veins in the side vents need to be cut out. Geiger is a car dealer in Germany, not the vendor of this model. Still looking.

Well I was looking around for other sources. The Geiger guy is some big tuner over there and won't answer his emails from me. Maybe wants whole car jobs or something. The WC hood lets out alot of air so I think it will be ok, thanks for the lift concern, good thinking. Really like it but sheesh was it $$$$.
