Message No one makes a hood like you are describing for the Z.

You have 3 options:

1) Buy whats out there which I list below for you.
2) Have a body shop create one using your hood
3) Wait till someone like me or another member decides to start making vented hoods that look nice are functional and priced fair.

There are only a few custom hoods out there and they are expensive about $900 with out shipping. Member CraigB has one that is fiberglass booststore.com sells it for $450 with shipping. I posted pics of the hood look under my posts to see it.

Jun makes one $900
Border makes one same price range
two Japanese co's make them but they are ugly and expensive
Then the Fiberglass one which Vader (a few co's make them)

This spring I will probably make my car the gunnea pig and make hood that looks similiar to a Mustang hood where it bends down a little and then comes up with a open vent in the middle of the hood or just simple vents on the corners like the Viper. Depends on what people would like.
