OEM SS hood or Aftermarket?
 
Can someone tell me if this is an OEM hood, or who makes it? I'm doubtful, look at the edges in the back corner.

Here are a few pics

This is the one that makes me wonder if it will even fit! :freak:

The "OEM" hood would actually be a SLP product. The OEM didn't actually make (4th Gen) SSes.

I do not know if that hood is OEM or aftermarket. The thing that throws me off is at the back of the ram air inlet there is curvature on the sides all the way to back of the hood. I could be mistaken, but didn't the OEM's have a straight line all the way back on the sides of the ram air inlet?

If you are looking for a hood, I would just say go get a new one from SLP, as they were the original ones to supply GM with the "SS's". Because if you were to buy a used one and it did not fit, you are stuck with it.

Actually they did curve going all the way to the back. For $650 shipped and the right color this would be a great deal. What bothers me is there is no way it would fit right with the rear corners rounded like shown in the closeups. Here is another composite pic of what the guy is claiming is the same hood.

Suposedly the same hood in all pictures. Something is not right.
