Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you like it, thats the most important thing. To me it looks like a Firebird hood.

Default Lt1

If there are openings in the front part there,what about water issuse on the filter??I think it's o.k. but i wouldn't buy it,it's too plain,like the stock hood.

what about water getting in the front part if it's an open scoop down there.looks like it'll get right on the filter.

it's not an open scoop.
figured i'd just paint that inside part of the scoop black or cut out the scoop..put some mesh and also put a backing to it so it's not an actual opening

Try Ecklers or Mid-America. They have a good selection of hoods available.

I just ordered the LT1 hood from Mid America for $699.00 plus $135.00 shipping cost. It does come from ACI and the vents are not open. I'm having it put on now.
