New hood idea in motion!
I tried to find an ultra Z for two years. If I found one owner wouldn't ship either because of cost or risk of damaging it in transit. And most people wanted like 1k and up shipped. I even tried to get 6LE to make em again but that was a difficult process didn't have funds to make one and they wanted deposits before there was a finished product. Anyways aside from that this will be a cool project and help stand out from the rest. Honestly an ultra Z was my first choice but I just couldn't get one. Lol knowing my luck that one on craigslist is like $350 and the guy will ship for like $100 haha @rjc1629

LOL, ya it was $300, but I checked today and it's gone. I went through the same thing trying to find an original 96-97 SS spoiler. I feel your pain.

I think it will look good if just the center part was out. The way I photoshopped it, I made that flat part at the opening black and left it silver in the other pic. Could be just painted black to make it sort of disappear. That the other part I didn't like on that hood. You'll come across an Ultra Z now that you bought this one! Lol I went through great lengths picking the suncoast one up in GA and I'm in CT, just to come home and find the Ultra Z in NJ!! Anyways this will be original for sure!!!

hood is in! Only pic I could take. Delivered at work and I got some customers so I can't take it out of packaging but everything looks good. I'll take more pics later. Can't wait to start the cutting/modding. At the same time I'm scared to start the cutting/modding haha here we go.

@popo8 wow man that's pretty much the idea! Crazy find there , that's exactly what I'm shooting for. My hood is the suncoast creations Z style. Got it for $605 shipped new. It mimics the fire hawk hood I'm just figuring out how much of the nose gets cut out and then I gotta find a grill for the inlet to keep larger debris out. Thanks for the pics man!

New hood idea in motion!
My hood got here a few weeks ago, it finally made its way over to my fiberglass/body specialist aka my gf's neighbor and all around mechanic. He does a lot to help me learn to do stuff on my own and he obviously takes care of stuff that comes with experience like engine building fabricating etc. but it's now getting mocked up for the cuts and modification. Also one other item came in
Took a chance on it and honestly I like it definitely different and I know most of you guys probably won't like it but hey "to each their own" right.
