Default MCM hood

Does this look like an MCM hood? Seller removed it when he traded his C5Z in, for a new C6Z. Stored in the original shipping box, for almost 20yrs.I'm going to check it out, tomorrow, and hopefully bring it home with me.

Definitely an MCM. It's in my garage, now. Color is Electron Blue and the hood is in mint condition.

It looks like a high rise.
Here is a link to another thread discussing it.

Look at these dimples at the base of the hood and the others at the top with the teardrop shaped opening, these look exactly like the bottom of mine. Also the grill opening panel should have screws so it can be removed. I had to take mine off to replace the wire mesh screen

I'm probably going to use my old Caravaggio hood on my Vert build so the MCM may be for sale, in the future.

Just based on the pics, it sure looks like the MCM hood I had on my 2000 C5 (only mine was not a high rise version).

Congrats! The MCM was (and still is) a very popular (thus valuable) hood for the C5.

It is a really nice looking hood. I wonder how much weight you save with it.

The hood is approximately ten to fifteen pounds lighter, than stock.

Hood is now listed in the C5 classifieds, if interested.

edit: hood sold in less than ten minutes. A good friend of mine and forum member, about twenty miles away, purchased it for his killer supercharged Z06. Crazy, huh.

Shipping is the easy part. Buyer is driving over to pick it up, as he's only twenty minutes from my house.
