The hood of any vehicle is one of the most important body panel pieces for a number of reasons. The most obvious of these is the protection it offers for the vehicle's engine, but it definitely doesn't stop there. Hoods are extremely large body panel pieces and as such can way excessive amounts. Corvettes built for ideal track or race applications should invest in lightweight, aftermarket hoods. Also, an aftermarket hood can provide immense benefits over stock beyond their weight saving. Larger hoods will allow for the installation of forced induction systems on to a C6 Corvette--such as an Edelbrock or Magnusson supercharger. Hoods are also built with such aspects as showcar windows, heat extractors, and active intake ports to help the vehicleshow and perform at a whole new level. The perfect hood for your Corvette is out there, and it will provide for you the right blend of performance and show quality styling that you need for your Corvette driving needs.
