Never seen this before.

Anybody see it before, or own one?

Not sure if I would want one on my 'cuda (if I owned one) or not but they look like quality pieces. The underside of the AAR hood looks pretty good so I assume the underside of the Hell hood would be just a nice.
Now if they made a Challenger hood with the cuda AAR scoop...

I like it.

I've been looking for an original hood for some time but I might end up getting one of these instead of a stinger hood.
Having a bolt on hood makes a difference for me so I'll wait til that hood comes out.

Looks like a very tight product.

Zip comes out of Titusville Florida.

Looks nice, if I were doing a Pro Tourer style `cuda I`d probably consider one.

I'm on the fence on this one...would like to see it painted black on a car..

Tried that once. It turned out okay. Gonna ditch it with the coming repaint.

I'm with Alan on this one . . Not sure I like it. May grow on me but for now . . Probably pass.

I like it.
Not for my current E-Body but maybe a resto-mod Hellcrate AAR pro-touring... yeah one of those.

If they made a bolt on for a 69 Barracuda, I would be tempted... Don't see the AAR style scoop working on the Barracuda but maybe together with an A-Body twin snorkel scoop. Or maybe no scoop.

Allowing the hot air and air pressure coming in through the grill a path out of the engine compartment while looking good...
Would also help with aero, lessen lift of the front in theory.
The air coming in through the grill has to go somewhere and out the bottom of the engine compartment creates lift at speed.

Definitely cool on a restomod!

I like it!

That '69 is beautiful! Always wanted one of those, never got around to buying one.

I remember your car from cc.c days. Always thought the hood was cool.
