SS/Cowl hood? thirdgens?

I've seen a few pics, of course now i cant find it, of fourth gen camaros with what looks like a souped up SS hood....its got like a 2 or 3 inch cowl with the SS scoop.......does anyone know about this hood? i think it looks BADASS!, but i cant find the pic.....do they make them for thirdgens? would it be hard to get it made custom?

also its not the big block hood....the cowl is a bit wider and kinda slopes more gradually, but like is kinda like that.......
How hard would it be to get the big block hood modified so the kinda cone thing in the middle wasnt there and so it was functional?

2-3" Cowl looks best on a Camaro IMO.
