As far as i know nobody makes that hood, and from the picture it looks like it was grafted on to the stock flat hood, evidenced by the lines on the outside edge of the scoop, you can pick up one of those scoops for about $100 and either graft it on yourself, (really not that hard) or have a body shop do it.

I put the same scoop on my old 87 sport coupe, but there werent any seams, blended perfectly, so if you hve any questions about where to find that scoop or ho to do it get a hold of me..

that one was just grafted on to a regular hood it would seem, but vfn makes a glass l88 hood for thirdgen camaros. I'm considering it for my iroc.

I'm puttin an L88 on my hood. My buddie owns a body job out in ND and he and I are going to first fiberglass the underside, and add some support with specially made metal brackets. Then we are going to cut a hole out of the hood and put it in from the underside of the hood. Then we rivet it to the hood and mud the sides to make it one solid peice. When we finally get it done he says it will be pretty sturdy, if it cracks he said he do another one for me for free. So when I get it on I'll post pics but that's down the road a bit.
