I've seen 2 in my life and both were custom jobs... one was simply a high rise version of the stock hood. The fender arches massaged and the center mini cowl raised a couple inches. Looked more like a C3 nose imo. The other was a stinger style hood. Again, not exactly useful but I've seen em. They supposedly functioned well...

Im fabbing a shaker style for mine. Sure youve seen pics of my big *** hole in my hood....But if all else fails ive eyed the add-on cowl piece that all the companies sell. Matches hood pretty nice (from pics). Id bond it and smooth the sides so it looks like it grew there.....Always have a backup plan lol

I used a Glasstek 6" cowl bonded on. Was surprised by how easy it was to fit up to the stock hood. Info here.

I have a pin on for my 98 camaro from VFN went and picked it up outside of Chicago. Best quality and weight savings I’ve ever come across. Not sure on c4s, but I’m sure the quality is the same.

I bought an L88 scoop from http://up22.com/ for around $100 and bonded it to the stock C4 hood. It took a LOT of work though.

Yep that VFN hood with the Sunnoco scoop is sexy. Not a bad price either. I've seen that hood on Bob C's (RIP) NMCA C4 GS and a member here also has one on his C4 drag car, can't remember his screen name thou..... Ron Hamby also has one on his C4 but hacked it all up like the grudge guys do - first adding a pro stock scoop, then just TBs sticking out, when he put the 5.3" BS 900+" nitrous motor in his car.... I'll give him a pass, as the car runs 3s and your not gonna fit that motor under any Corvette hood....lol. Ron also has the VFN front bumper and its super nice also....

That VFN hood looks so good. I'm going to put one on the 84 some day.

I will have to say that the C4 Hood must be by far the longest Corvette production run with little or no change. Some changes inside with no changes out side. Lots of Hood Changes before the C4, lots after.
