Who makes this hood?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...474492435&rd=1

The seller claims he made it himself. But after looking at the rest of the car I found it hard to believe. (Check out the air filter ) The hood looks too good to be "home made".

It looks a lot like Mecham's extractor hood for 98-02 Firebirds, but one that fits 93-97's. I looked on the Mecham web site but didn't find anything. Anyone know anything about it or where I can get one?

Thanks for any help!

If mecham blows you off (more than likely they will) send a email to VFN fiberglass they do specialty hoods all the time.

Hey, maybe it is home made. No one seems to have ever seen another one - so far. If he made it himself he did a damn nice job and should think about making some!

Thanks for sharing this, I'm getting one of those hoods pretty soon (and selling the Predator hood) so I'll have to show this to a guy here that does badass paint and body work and see if he can do it for me.
