I don't think so. His grill had a cutout in the center
Oh yes your right, I had to cut away that section on the bumper in order to fit the Opel grill....

Adam had his car at our GM employee car show at the Tech Center yesterday and that viper hood is even nicer in person.  Norm really hit this one out of the park.  It looked awesome.

Hello and thankyou that was very nice, I really do appreciate all the great comments. THanks again Norm

Hello, Ive been busy improving the hood before we start shipping out. Heres what we did to address concerns about water intrusion through the top vents. Built a large tray system to divert water from the vents down and drain out the front of the hood, while still allowing heat to vent out which was the trick. Now we can finish the hoods that were waiting for this system, which can be removed at any time for track time and cleaning also.  Thanks for your patience, Norm

Hello, with the drain system painted body color she looks great, or paint a mural on those. Side view shows how heat escapes through the vents around the trays. Red hood shown has the CAI system too. Plus we have been busy building more. Thanks again Norm 574-255-7843

Hi there Sly Bob,

Norm's site is looking good.  Image #15 does have a Solstice GTO hood in there with the 3 Sky Viper hoods, just for what it's worth.

Fake vent increase resale value whereas stickers and ball bearing mufflers increase performance ;)

so those "drip trays" of the norm's hood......are attached during rainy seasons?

and during summer time...they get removed....to get more ventilation/air flow....I'm assuming.

I guess if you wanted to do it that way. However, my rain trays stay on. Who knows when it will rain in SC. The weather guessers are known to get it wrong.

Sweet hood Norm, nice way to accent the black sky by putting some sort of white stuff on the ground.
