I would love to find a hood like the C6Z factory hood. Does anyone not make one of this design?

This is a nice hood and design but the scoop is a little large for my liking.

The C6Z hood is exactly the same as ours.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe he saw an aftermarket hood on a Z06.

It is very tasteful in person. If anyone would like to come down to SLP for an up close personal look, please PM me.

Thanks

Stil ... I wonder how much air actually goes in through that slot. I suspect that opening up the end closer to the windshield would yield higher flow, based on the higher pressure. Looking at the pics, it looks like the opening is close enough to the boundary layer to not get much flow. I'd love to know if I'm wrong.
