I had this guy in Indiana make me a custom hood for the solstice, Its based on the forumla firebirds from back in the day. Below are photos of the hood from start to finish, and the install process. I trailered the car up there to have him do the custom work.

Factory hood removed in his shop in Indiana

While we had the hood off, I installed a set of shorty headers made by solo, just for the solstice.

Here is the custom air box made to mate with the hood.

Norm made the mold for this, he is a fiberglass god in my opinion.

I didn't realize that was a total custom hood. Looks pretty awesome. I'm anxious to see this car in person.

What a killer wedding gift! Wish my wife was into cars. Then again, its kinda nice that she doesn't want anything to do with it so I don't have to ever hand over the keys.
