What do you guys know about this company? This might be all the hood clearance I need. |

If it gets your car running.... I like it.

Maybe I'll just put some damn Camaro fenders and nose on so I can use a cool looking hood and get clearance. Everything for the Firebird is to UGLY!!!!  |

| Where did you find that picture? I've been searching high and low for IMSA hood pictures. Or is that just Schultzy's from a low angle? |

There appear to be several different versions out there. The first one you posted says 3". Most of the pics look more like a 2". If I would have found one that was smaller I would have picked it up. I couldn't pass up the deal at the swap meet for the one I got. I am not sure who made it but the build quality around the headlights is superior to most I have seen.
FWIW my BAH is 4" (no I am not bragging about 4", just saying) and shaped a bit different.
