I once saw a complete shaker Corvette, not just the hood. Turns out a few of the plug wires had fallen off though. Easy fix.

I was just trying to think of something i could do that would help my car stand out.
It is different than the "average" car, but when i go to a car show i blend in. There is nothing about my car to make it stick out, yet it is modified well beyond stock (missing crossfire and badging).
I was thinking about getting a new hood (don't want to cut a hole in the original) and an air cleaner with a scoop. It would all be reversible, and I'd have something to make my car different (less obnoxious than ground effects or rear louvers, in my opinion).

Uh. Stop going to shows. Just kidding. I suppose it's a matter of who is walking past your car at a show. If I attended a show where you car was entered, I would stop and look at it as I would any other Corvettes entered. I'm a Corvette enthusiast and your car would be of interest to me. I might walk right past a Firebird or someone's Fairlane in order to get to your car.

Not exactly a "Shaker Hood" but it does stand out in a crowd

Owner Comments: Just one of my old chevys. Just a little different engine. That's a Hampton 8-71 sitting on a LS6 454. I won't bother with all the neat stuff on it.

One our 1981's from the Registry. I couldn't find JHL's 1981 (he did sell it.... JHL homeland is the UK, but he travels the world so I have no idea where he's at now. :L )

love it or hate it, it does stand out:

I think if they had just done the hood and not everything else I would like it better.

Yeah, the ground effects and spoiler are too much for me.

Believe me, what i'm thinking of is (1) not permanent (2) not that extreme.

When I had intentions of turning my '82 into a bracket-racer, I considered the C3-Stinger hood from Ecklers, with a stripe that matched the interior (Dark Red on my Black exterior), that could've been made functional:

it's still 'Corvette', and stands-out in a crowd, but not-too gaudy.
