Toledo Pro for me...I have the 4 inch super high rise and it is a wicked looking hood for sure that does follow the factory lines as previously mentioned.

$1399?? I only paid $425 for my Camaro's Datona Turbo hood. No side fenders were included of course. Corvette Tax sucks. Is there any benifit besides heat extraction? How does the hi-rise weight compare to the stock hood weight? Is the a loss in aerodynamic efficiency? Looks though.
