Do You Remember the first time you admired a custom hood on a Corvette? Maybe it was at a drag race, a car show, or even in a vintage issue of HOT ROD or VETTE magazine.
Regardless, it seems like Corvettes and custom hoods have always gone well together, and that philosophy has never been truer than it is today.
That's why we're bringing you our "Official Guide to Aftermarket Corvette Hoods." Advanced technologies allow aftermarket companies to offer Corvette hoods in a variety of materials-carbon-fiber, resin-transfer molds, fiberglass, and more. In addition to great style and looks, many of them will offer you dramatic improvements in downforce, engine-bay temperature, and weight, as compared to OE. Some will replace your damaged factory hood with an OE-style replacement that's as good as GM made when your Corvette was new, while others will sell you the style of a limited-edition factory hood (like the ZR1), that you wouldn't otherwise be able to purchase separately. There are even some that can provide you with the extra clearance you need to mount a supercharger (or other power adder) in your engine bay.
Because choosing the right hood for your Corvette is a personal choice, we didn't favor one of these manufacturers over the others. Instead, we listed them all and allowed them to state their case. All that's left is for you to decide is which of them is right for your car.
