That's my favorite C5 hood by far. I think it looks better with the inserts painted black on most colors. Great choice

I was thinking about the same thing in terms of the stripes. I want to pull the heat out and this looks like the best setup, found some pics of the underbelly to verify that.

Howdy!

I have this hood - mine is actually a BPP original (later the design was sold to someone else I believe). Very nice piece, got it with a nice painted liner - here's some pics:










I have a ton of others if anyone is interested.

Oh FWIW, Tim Burke out of Orlando did the paint work, and it's simply outstanding!

I am on the fence with painting the ducts a different color. The only other color on the car is carbon fiber and black. I'm an eckler's dealer so my cost is much lower than 799. I love how Blazeone did the underbelly, not sure if I am going to do anything more than white yet.

DT, do you run your liner all the time?

blazeone, were you at the hotrod cruise-in at Ocean City, MD this year??? I saw a car that looked very similar to yours. If so, your car sounds sick, even from the 19th floor.

Default Nice hoods, but no Wheezers?

So do you plan to install a blower?

Would really appreciate it, it will probably push me over the edge to buy. Just want to have a rough idea of the outcome b4 I jump.
