Default Hood Liner/Shade

I have been to a few car shows and noticed a couple of Vettes had custom hood shades (for lack of a better word for it) and really liked them. I have been on line looking and all I have found so far are liners that have been air brushed which are fine but the shades they had were nice looking. Anyone out there have an idea where to look or had one made ?

Thanks in advance !!!!

Not exactly sure what you mean by hood shades unless it is a cover that wraps around the stock hood liner. A vendor called Car Motor Sports sold a cover that you could install over the hood liner that was embroidered with things like the C5 logo.

Other than that, the custom hood liners that I have seen (and have on my car) can be found from forum vendors Airbrush Inc, RPI Designs (I think) or just from a local airbrush painter.

Default Hood Shade

Well Thanks for the reply, what I am looking for is what looks like and hooks up just like the back shade in my coupe except the ones I have seen they had made for the under the hood, one I saw was a large Dragon and you undo prior to driving. I went and looked at the two vendors you mentioned and they do hood liners as far as I can tell, I did write an email to RPI asking about it so hopefully they will answer me, and again Thanks for the reply !!!!!
