I have the ACP air extractor hood for my street/track car. I'm building a track only car(rr) this winter and am installing their world challange hood(pic of such from ACP site, shown below). It provides superior air flow to the normal air extractor hood. If you want to truly maximize air flow and "go nuts" so to speak, here's your ticket.

This looks really good on the C5, I haven't seen it on a C6 yet. I had ordered one a while back and they were on back order for ever. Not sure what I'm going to do, but there are some better choices out there now!

My buddy has one on his C5 Z06 and it looks really good! The only problem is, when it "extracts heat" in the cold, it fogs up the window! It does work and it looks awesome I just wish they had more options for the C6 that they have for the C5

I'm joking with you man! But seriously, there isn't a whole lot to rust in the engine bay.
You shouldn't be driving baby in the bad weather anyway. Even if you do get caught, an occasional incursion behind enemy lines, isn't going to corrode things up. Now if you are silly enough to drive it in the winter, on salty roads, then you are just asking for problems.

Which part in particular ? The aluminum block, aluminum heads, brackets? Perhaps you mean the plastic intake. Hmmm.

Who can tell exactly where I can order this bad boy and what it's called these days (Haltech hood)?
When I visit the ACP site I can't identify it...

Nick, et al - This is definitely the baddest looking and reportedly effective heat extraction hood out there.

I have an ACP air extractor hood for my street/track car. I'm building a track only (RR) car this winter. Pics below are of the ACP World Challenge Hood in carbon fiber. Pictured also are their Z11 body kit and front nose/under tray in carbon.

It's not on their site. Get in touch with this member and possibly he might me able to steer you in the right direction.
