Default heat extractor hood ideas

I had my car get hit in a parking lot and am taking the opportunity to do some body mods ive been wanting but I cant find the style hood i want. I REALLY LOVE the cobra terminator hoods in 03 and 04 and would like something like that in the vette form. i like the c6 heat extractor hoods too that are the stock hood with three vents on each side but again not available in c5.

does anyone know of a hood made that is similar to the terminator hood? or that style? I looked at the ZR2 which is cool but its got a little too much going on in the middle for me.

If you're going to get one, you might as well get one that really works.

Too bad you feel that way, cause it really does an awesome job.

dont get me wrong i love that ZR2 hood but i just sorta wish i could get it without the middle stuff. ya know its the difference between it being what you like and what you love. i loved the non-louvered open holes on the termi hood and was digging around for something like that.
