I would buy it if it would breath, but I don´t think so!!! :(
Weight would be intresting also.
Price seems good! :)

Re: C5-R Hood @ Eckers (Austrian Vette)

IMHO, that is ugly as s#*t. I hate all the crap all over it, wrecks the nice clean lines of the C5.

I love the C5R hood, the repro hood, however, doesn't work for me. It's gotta have "Speed Holes", just like Homer's car.

Now this is cool!: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/pictur...oct01-1024.jpg, I wish I could buy a hood like that. The only problem is I'd need a C4 to have my hood wrap over my tires. Oh well.

Re: C5-R Hood @ Eckers (C5 YA)

I like the Mallett high rise carbon fiber hood. Chuck Mallets supercharged 435 has it and he left the scoop unpainted. Looks very cool with the "bare" carbon fiber. :)
