On my way to work I saw one of these:
with this hood: painted white. It looked stock, sounded stock, except for the hood. coming up behind me I initially thought it was a civic.

I think it’s just a plastic insert. I was actually looking at a set for my C5 vette. Too much heat under the hood after getting milk.
Didn’t spend too much time looking for one. First one I found under “hood vent”

I suppose that person had same thought.

My guess: It was in an accident and that hood was cheaper than the OEM

no accounting for taste. back in high school I saw a couple of Camaros running around with this silly thing:
as if anyone is going to say “Hey, nice Ferrari, man!”

it was definitely more than an insert. the center section of the hood was a few inches taller than the rest of the hood, much more than normal

I have never seen that before. its not a bad style except for trying to suggest a rear engine. must make for a nice blind spot.

The Firebird GTA had a notchback
1988 MY only, plagued with issues in fabrication, a fraction of the promised units were delivered.

this was worse, these were fake Testarossa engine covers. people actually paid money and put them on their Camaros.

Oh I know, I was just pointing out somewhat of a production anomaly somewhat analogous to the TestaMaro

I thought that too, but it sounded pretty stock.

Not sleeper made to look like a sleeper but actually stock

oddly I don’t hate it...does look like a Civic but that’s an improvement over what is one of the most nondescript cars on the road.
