Question about 97 SS Hood

[Steves94Z28]

That piece is interchangeable, but i cant say ive seen a 100% closed one before.

I'd put my money on this being an OEM hood based on the info we have so far.

After much searching and comparing pictures, i have found what my hood looks like underneath. Most of the knock off hoods i seen had the same design for air flow...air comes in the scoop and is then diverted left and right.....The hood i have is like the GlassTek pictured.GLA052-D_6.jpg

IMO the hood u have is a nice aftermarket hood....not OEM. Make sure u know what u have before u charge an OEM price for it, or you will have a very upset buyer!

Yes, this is the bottom of a glasstek which is what I have but no matter how much i look at your pictures, this doesnt appear to match what you posted earlier. Was the bottom area around the jegs sticker modified?

Whatever you see in person though is the trump card - sorry if i steered you wrong!

Curious what this is then... Have you found any underhood shots of a factory one? [MENTION=2913]FASHOOTER[/MENTION] do you have any of yours?

Looks the same as a glasstek, is this what the bottom of yours also looks like? Mainly the center area?


I just asked a friend of mine to snap a pic of the bottom side of his factory SS hood.


Edit: actually that is not the same as a glasstek, disregard previous comment i see differences.

I believe glasstek advertises that their hood is molded from a OEM hood. OEM hood is not one piece on bottom side

I still haven't found another pic of one that looks just like mine.....wish i knew but i guess it will remain a mystery lol...

Maybe try narrowing it down by figuring out what it isn't?

Not SLP/OEM, VFN, Tamraz/Glasstek, SunCoast, AIT, TruFiber, RK Sport


Duraflex, ??

[JoeliusZ28]

It isnt RK sport - that has a very unique shape of the scoop you can tell a mile away.

I'll add it to the "Not It" list
