Wow, nice cars. Of course I'd like the Toledo pro hood but for that price$$!! I just think the hoods on these cars are too plain, I want a more custom aggressive look, that's why I'm putting a scoop on.

Thanks.
Hand made from fiberglass, by my artist/fabricator and akin to those on the Sledgehammer Corvette, by Callaway. They create a low pressure area to extract heat.

Part of the C4's appeal for me is the clean lines.

AFAIK, Callaway sells no parts except to owners, so someone needs to make them (these are NOT theirs, but similar). It is a bit of a process, from laying out and cutting the hood (ouch) to building up the 'glass and building them identical, reverse and symmetrical, while finishing the underside for a factory look. A great 'glass guy can do this and not have the joints crack. The artistry is in their professional look, afterwards.

We once discussed screens, but I find them unnecessary.
