Can you identify this hood ??
Does anyone know who manufactures this hood? Just bought this car and the hood brings mixed reviews from all who see it. Never seen this one before. How much do these cost?

First time I recall seeing a hood like that. Can you contact the prior owner and ask where it came from?

Thanks for all the tips. Still can't find it for sale online. Tiger shark looks like the blue vette picture in the link above, Cold not find it on Spectras web site either. Seems to be a quality built hood whomever made it.
