LOVE that hood...better than the Formula one you made for me...did you also do widebody rear fenders for him?  His rear fenders look wider and look sick!

Hood looks really really nice!  I've seen a style very similar to that on some of the older camaros and firebirds and the body kits you can get for them.  I think they call them stringrays, but there is not a lot of gap between the two openings in the hood.  Excellent design.  :)

that s mean Norm!!
very nice hood!
it looks like to me that someone who puts it on, should emphasise the details of it, by painting the two lines in a different color.
definetely the rear fenders are wider, should get the wheels more to the outside to look even better

I said it in another thread, but I'll say it again.  That's a damn good looking hood!  Gotta start saving now.

Hello the price for all our hoods are $995.00 without the Ram Air intake, with the Ram Air intake its $1195.00 Though I would recommend a tune from DDM, Westers, etc to allow the full potential of the extra cool air coming in. We are a small company so I can keep our hoods a consistent weight and thickness. The  hoods weigh approx 36 lbs which is less than half of stock. Thanks again Norm 574-255-7843

Any reason the non-ram air wouldn't work on a GXP?

The stock hood weighs Almost 70lbs???? Am I understanding correctly?
Kind of baffled if thats the case since the stock hood off my Ford F-150 Supercrew truck weighs less than 50lbs and that hood is huge.

Nope.
I already have the GMPP intake so I would not need the ram air box so he just would not add the box but still be open to let air in though the inlets.  At least that's the way I understood.

I also forgot the stock hood on my Ford is all aluminum except for the hood latch piece while the Sols hood is steel.
Wonder why they didnt use Aluminim for the hood on the Sol.

The non Ram Air will work on any model as will the Full Ram air too. I just recommend that you get a tune to go along with and get all that potential out of it. Either way will work. Thanks again Norm
