I think the hood is
ACP world challenge vented hood



https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1563931799

A possible guess on the splitter
Blackdog Racing carbon fiber nose and splitter (he does not have turn signals)

I would venture to say he built an attachment to the splitter to make it much larger.

Which hood though?













It looks like he has tried them all.

Dear God is that car **** on wheels to me.

Next question - why doesnt he run side skirts?

I have decided on either the GoodAero or a Kognition wing, will run a vented hood (APC or other maybe), and I can easily grab a C5R splitter and then open up the bottom of the bumper to make it a hybrid bottom/front breather.

Definitely want a vented hood to go with it to try and evacuate some high pressure air from the engine compartment.

Was thinking I should run side skirts on the car to keep air out from under it, but why do I see many people running only a splitter? Seems like if you're spending the money on a wing and splitter side skirts finish off the aero performance for not a lot more money?
