Custom hoods for C5s

I am new to this part of the forum and have a C-3. I am looking to purchase a C-5, however would like a customized hood.

I love the bigblock hood for my C-3, and would like a similar one for a C-5. Is there anything like this out there?

Can anyone photoshop an example to see how it may look? I like the C-5s a lot, but would like a little more character to the hood, any help would be great...thanks.

I think this may be the look you are talking about. Unfortunately for you they no longer make it. I love this hood! Old style history on a late model.

I have always liked the MCM hoods. I found an ACP hood (the air extractor, not their magna extractor) which has a center section like the MCM but also features additional side vents which I think looks great. I installed on my street/track car below with a tigershark front (w/o the lower spoiler). I'm also using ACP for a track only car I'm building this winter.

Thanks
