Sorry, but that hood makes me think of this, way too 'wannabe boy racer', too many vents, not subtle. Would not have it for free IMO!

Interesting. Thx.
I'm with you...I like the look and supposed quality of MCM but I don't want to pay $2500 plus paint for a hood.

Yep, would look better all one color.

I don't think you can beat the Caravaggio Blower Hood!

Precisely why I'm not a fan...to me it looks just looks too plain.
I'm sure it's a quality piece and functional...but If I go aftermarket, I want something a bit more radi-cowl.

I can't do radical on the hood. Most of the aftermarket hoods for our cars are just to much. This one turns heads and if you don't know c5's it just looks like it came like that. But that's what's great about this game you make your ride into what you feel a car should look like. I would love to do a widebody soon but I want to do heads first.

Brent, that thing is sweet!! All of these are really nice looking hoods, just not my style. I believe I found it in the Vis tho.
