Question 350Z race car hood

Does anyone know if there is a replica hood like the one from the 350z race car with the 4 louvers on each side? could someone chop that hood onto a stock black 350z?

hasemi just doesnt have them as big


the scoot hood is a viper rip-off thats why the RE-Amemiya hood is a better example

I like our hood just the way it is. The little vents on the side are OK but I think that it doesn't really add anything to the car...

from what i hear the SC Z's are building alot of heat.
a hood like this would be benificial for dissipating the heat.
3rd gen RX7 owners buy hoods like that to help with their heat problems.

well thats a good reason to get one. I think the Kaminari hood would be the most beneficial for this as the hood scoop may be right where the supercharger would be...

The Kaminari has a forward facing scoop which would invite more cool air, but has no backwards scoop to dissipate.
