Why would you want to do that.......

If you must! i have only liked the Callaway hood scoops, subtle not over the top.

Does it have to be a scoop ?

Ryhnoz60vette

Wow, nice cars. Of course I'd like the Toledo pro hood but for that price$$!! I just think the hoods on these cars are too plain, I want a more custom aggressive look, that's why I'm putting a scoop on.

This one COPO did was really sharp:

Yeah his hood is real nice. He did a fine job

Ryhnoz60vette

agree!

Ryhnoz60vette

Whalepirot I like those vents in your hood. Where did you get those?

whalepirot

Thanks.
Hand made from fiberglass, by my artist/fabricator and akin to those on the Sledgehammer Corvette, by Callaway. They create a low pressure area to extract heat.

Part of the C4's appeal for me is the clean lines.

Ryhnoz60vette

Very nice, I'd like to have a set of those.

AFAIK, Callaway sells no parts except to owners, so someone needs to make them (these are NOT theirs, but similar). It is a bit of a process, from laying out and cutting the hood (ouch) to building up the 'glass and building them identical, reverse and symmetrical, while finishing the underside for a factory look. A great 'glass guy can do this and not have the joints crack. The artistry is in their professional look, afterwards.

We once discussed screens, but I find them unnecessary.

all of these cars look great. I like this too because it's got that streetfighter look that some people like to make.

not to go OT, but who makes the wheels in this pic?



hey HWBush - are you going to Gibbs show on march 7th?

Hairy W Bush

I haven't heard of it. Info? And those wheels look like one of the wheels are are in the game NFS Carbon. Looks like a BBS logo.

I agree all these cars look great, thanks for the picts
