Default 2016 Z aftermarket hood?
Is anybody selling an after market hood for the 16 Z? One that permits the use of a taller intake.

MTI racing stated they were in the process of building one but haven't heard anything since this summer.

We have also introduced the polycarbonate window or louvered insert to our hood line.

We need a true race vented hood for tracking. That would be what I would be interested in.

To relieve the under hood pressure, we can replace the window with our louvered insert.

This is what a few racers have already ordered.

Great. Hope to hear some results. May need more vents like the challenge hoods had.

if someone invented a hood with vents on each side, to expel heat from the twin turbo UPP kit headers, it would sell well.
