New C7 Fiberglass Hood Design
I'm looking for some creative feedback. Possibly going to submit some designs to a company to produce these hoods in fiberglass or possibly carbon fiber. Let me know which one you like the most.

Seems like a step backwards to replace a CF hood with a FB one.
(not to mention the factory hydraulic lifts may not be able to support the weight)

Did you forget the standard hood includes an air extractor??? So where's all that high pressure air going that is part of cooling as well as the aero package?

#4, but I would not purchase it as I think the factory one is fine.
