There was a person on e-bay selling fiberglass first gen hoods with the second gen turbo style hood scoop. Said that they manufactured them only once a year but I haven't seen them this year. And I don't remember what time of the year that I last saw them. I saved the pictures from their auctions and can post them tonight if anyones interested in seeing them.

Yes there is a company that makes them. I cannot remeber where I saw them though maybe someone else can chime in. If I remeber right the website was simple and just had a list.

I'd like to take a look at those. A scoop is something I have been wondering about for keeping the engine bay cooler....

Fenders are too wide for my Epsilons, not impressed with the quaility and fitment, and I like the other front fenders better. They are more aero and the front skirt would allow me to adjust the height and not crack the front fiberglass the 1st time I pulled in the driveway. Yeah, that did happen.

Sorry for the delay, here are the pictures that I have for the first gen fiberglass hood with hood scoop that was being sold on e-bay. At the moment I don't remember the name of the company but if I remember correctly there main business was mustang parts.

That company sold their molds about six months ago. The new owner was going to produce the parts for me to sell. He hung me out for a while and then I just figured he was not going to produce. We will see.
