I'm looking at this option, you can color match if you want.

I was really wanting one of these when Halltech was developing and showing them around several years ago. Only a few of these made it out of the wild.

Any data on this hood? I know it's the "stinger" hood... just curious if anyone has data on it.

I have one out back(needs to be paint matched), thats why I ask.

I believe you can get this hood from ACP:

I have the old halltech stinger hood on my tiger shark ttix car and it does help with cooling and looks great

make sure you put an insulator on the brake reservoir as it pulls heat off the turbo manifolds and will cook it.

I got a nice thick fiberglass "vanity" cover and it solved the problem
