I don't think anyone has yet because of the concerns for quality. No one knows how the quality is going to be on it. But here it is at a much better price for the exact same hood.

Basically looks like the T3 hood ports that ACS sells but integrated into a hood.

If I remember correctly from a long time ago, the ZL1 engineers tried going that route but it proved that those ports didn't do anything and they ended up going with what the ZL1 has now.

Jerry, honestly, if you want that look, get the T3 hood ports for the looks and some Hex vents for the heat flow.

Edit: I just saw the price of the hood. That's cheaper than the ports if I'm not mistaken!

If you like that look you should maybe contact Pete at Showstoppers, it's a bit different, but a VERY GOOD hood. Amazing Quality. I should know - he's painting mine right now:

Killer hood at a killer price.

My personal favorite of all of them out there. Fiberglass tho so expect some body work to be needed for perfect fit and finish.

Still a good option

As Ivan said, expect to have a bodyshop work on the hood to get it to fit right and look good painted.
