that carbon fiber hood is on a car that is in Japan, most likely custom made. Never personally seen a fiberglass hood that uses louvers, that would prob have to be custom made as well unless someone else can fill you in about a hood that i don't know of

ah actually the 82-84 (i think) Z's came with a stock fiberglass hood, but it didn't accept the louvers. It was a hood that was kinda similar to the one had louvers on it but not entirely the same. Black90rs you got a pic of your car?

yea thats the hood that was available from the 82-84 models. The louvers will not fit on that hood, you can tell how towards the bottom of those indentations that its too narrow in comparison to the actual louvers/blisters. those hoods used black decals to fill that cavity

Good luck finding the carbon fiber hood!! If you do find one, I'm in!!!
However, paint doesn't stick to Carbon Fiber as well as it sticks to fiberglass.

I'm in the same boat you're in.
I like the stock appearance of my IROC too. I've been looking around for a stock looking fiberglass hood with no luck at all.
If you find, one let me know.

When you say without the "blisters do you mean I can bolt mine on. because that's what I'm looking for.
I have a picture of the stock hood, Its a copy of this hood that I want.
If so and this is what you can make. I will be the first in line to buy one.
