Nice looking Hoods?

Are there any hoods that don't have a "cowl theme"? Am looking for a nice aftermarket hood for the Z. Please Help..?

How about one like this?

MCM. Motor City Mold. Known for their quality & fitment. Carbon fiber. Expensive, but I feel flows with the C/5 lines.

Nice! It's definitely better than what I've seen on the web thus far. Thanks for posting, I do like those lines.

Check out the hoods by:

Corvettecreationz.com (AKA Carbon Creations) - their carbon ZR hood is nice
BlackDogSpeedShop - they have a nice one albeit expensive
ACP - Advanced Composite Products - they have some nice ones albeit expensive

I'm going with the CARBON ZR hood, just because it's got the look I want at the right price.

Found another one...that looks interestingly close to the MCM. Not sure if it's still available though. Wonder who's hood they are selling:

I think I found one I really like, although I'd like to see more pictures of it actually on the car, as I've only found one picture on a blue Z06. It's the Fuzion Carbon Fiber made by Vis.

Yeah the VIS cowl does look pretty nice, wonder how well the fitment on their hoods is.

Yes that's the one Moto. It would look better left in carbon fiber, or painted all red IMO though.

I thought I read somewhere that when MCM died, that Ecklers bought the molds. Looks just like the MCM maggie hood, and I like it, but it's just too high for me.
