Default Hood-Interchange???

Is the '68 L88 hood interchangeable to a 81' vette? I've seen the aftermarket hi-rise style l88 hoods but I don't like the hi-rise part. Any help would be really appreciated!

You cannot use the 68' L88 hood on your 81 because in 68 - Corvettes had a wiper door and the hoods were shorter. You will need a aftermarket L-88 style hood (long style). Ecklers sells those!

Yep, GrandSport has ya covered. Try this http://www.vanacorvette.com Page #27. Got mine from Americansportscar.com however they no longer sell L88 hoods. They direct to above website so I'm not sure if it's the same hood. Price is better than Eckler's. Good Luck, L8TER, Paul.
