Default Looking for a C6 hood NOW that will clear a Kenne Bell for LATER

I am doing a ZO6 conversion now and I want to do a hood that will clear a Kenne Bell NOW while I have the car apart and I am having paintwork done.

I have an e-mail into Kenne Bell.

Any other ideas???

Thanks.

Will any of these C6 hoods clear a Kene Bell?

My understanding is that Lingenfelter has done ONE Kenne Bell on a C6 and they had to custom build a C6 hood by cutting and glassing a RK sport hood,

OK.

It looks like Kenne Bell isn't going to help out on this one.

Lingenfelter is supposed to get back to me.

Interestingly,
LPE said all they had to do was "scoop out" material from the C6
RK_Sport hood to make the Kenne Bell fit.
LPE said that the modifications to the RK_Sport hood does not change the outside dimesions of the hood.

In other words,
the hood is not any taller after the mods and it still clears the Kenne Bell.

Regardless,
can we find a manufacurer to design, build, and sell a C6 hood that will clear both the Magnacharger and the Kenne Bell?

Hopefully, a company will step up and capitalize on this GREAT opportunity to provide a componet that many will need.
