As some of you know, Norm has been working on an extreme hood for our Solstice...some people have loved it and others said it's not for them. At first, I thought the hood was not for me, but Norm has sent me some recent pictures of it finished and painted, and I have totally changed my mind. The pictures he had posted were unfinished, and in my opinion, the new pictures make this hood one of the nicest around. My car was backed into recently, so I might need to replace the hood. This is what I think I might go with if the numbers pan out. I highly recommend Norm's products.

Looks Good. Price?

Hood looks good ..but where do you get the invisible car thats it's sitting on...

spicy3480 · « **Reply #3 on:** June 05, 2009, 09:11:41 AM »

I want to say $1200, but I am not toally positive. That would have to be something Norm chimes in on.

That screams Pontiac. I like it.

It does look really great and it brings a bit of that vintage Pontiac look to the Solstice.

You could pick one up second hand, but it's unbelievably difficult reading the Carfax for an invisible car.

Ben is good with invisibility. I'm still learning.

Sorry, still doesn't go along with our car IMO.

Love the old school Formula Firebird look in the front and a place for the hot air to escape out the back.

Now on a rainy day, wouldn't the water pour into the engine or is there something that would prevent this?

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #9 on:** June 05, 2009, 12:45:47 PM »

Sol Man has a valid point but that is the best looking hood avaible to date!!!!

He has pathways underneath that filter the rain water out.

I see a Saturn Sky diffuser mold in the pics....

spicy3480 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 05, 2009, 02:36:08 PM »

Yep...thats the one he's finishing up for the Sky.

Where do they dump the water to/out?

Good question...I am assuming the front where the duct is on top of the front bumper. I asked Norm if I would have trouble with water and he said I would not.

Is this a modification of an existing hood, or a completely new fabrication?

Yay he updated his site...if you look, he also has lightweight rear panels for the serious racer!

BLK GXP · « **Reply #19 on:** June 06, 2009, 10:05:08 AM »

These pics look much better than the earlier ones. I'll want to see it on a car to decide if I really like it yet.

Do we know how much the rear panels weigh?

spicy3480 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 06, 2009, 04:45:08 PM »

No. I'm not sure but I do know the hood is half the weight of stock...so I am assuming that the rear panels are the same.

Yamatr3 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 06, 2009, 04:51:47 PM »

Those rear panels are way expensive, $900 for the pair.

spicy3480 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 06, 2009, 05:15:16 PM »

Probably because of the time he takes to develop the part and mock it up...don't know. Anything custom is going to have a higher price...that's what I have seen.
