Are there any other aftermarket hoods for the C5 besides the RKSport Hood? I think a C5R vented hood would look awsome on a Z.

Does anyone make a hood like this or a hood different than the RK Sport?

There are several vendors (forum) and others who carry heat extractor hoods, high rise cowl hoods, etc. I have toyed with the thought, just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

See my reply on the next forum, "Pit Road" in response to the cowl hood question. I did see an ad for a C5R hood yesterday. I will reference it for you when I get home this evening.

Anyone have any pics or links of the available hoods?

I was interested in the same idea, but I haven't found a true C5R hood. The problem is however, that the C5R is designed so that the radiator heat is extracted through the main opening in the top. I can't imagine what you'd have to do to change the car so that the radiator heat is extracted through the top like that. Any ideas anyone?

BTW, West Coast Performance has a decent looking one. No main opening in the middle, and the louvering style in the middle is a little different. Still looks nice IMO.

Rich air and clear skies,

This is the Doug Rippie heat extractor hood. It's functional.

Great pics.
Looks great but sort of gives it that Trans Am look.

BPP <--- has a nice selection of hoods as well. Seriously considering the Carbon Fiber hood this summer!

Here are a couple of pics of my favorite hood.

It is a Breathless Hood.

The pictures are from the Houston Chevy/Vette Fest back in February. More pictures here if you want to look at them.

Does anyone know where to get some pics of the infamous "turbo-x" hood that I hear now is being drug through the courts? I really liked that hood and will wait until it is officially released, if ever. Now I can't even locate pics of it anymore.
