I am thinking about getting a donor c5 hood and making my own custom vented hood. A good friend is a custom boat builder and amazing with carbon fiber and fiberglass. He says to me when I was putting the procharger on that we were going to have to do something about the heat so we will make something!!!....I think VIS has some cool stuff.

I believe this is a modified hi-rise hood for a Magnacharger. I think he cut out the front and made an opening and then put the screen in etc.

So no one knows? I thought I got the pic off this board a month or two back, but forgot to write down who had it and where it came from. If it is custom, whoever did it should be proud! It gives the car a very unique look without too much Bling-bling...

The RK Sport is close, but not near as nice, but thanks for the effort on the link. They do have some items that show promise!
