Default Aftermarket Hood?

this past weekend, i was at the 2010 car craft summer nationals in MN, where montes were well represented, but there was one 6th generation there that sported an aftermarket hood i've never seen before. it resembled the PFYC style ram air hood ( http://www.pfyc.com/pc/MC1001/MCSPEC...+Air+Hood.html ) but this one was wider towards the windshield and had 2 ribbed contours on either side of the scoop that were on the top quarter of the hood towards the windshield.

i wasn't able to catch the owner, and have been searching since last Sat for such a hood but can't find anything to match. Has anyone encountered a hood like this, or no of any other aftermarket hoods apart from the ram air hood offered on PYFC

I personally don't like it, I think it is too much, too distracting...

seriously, how've i never come across this hood, and i found it on there website right after you posted that pic too.

I think it looks ok, if the ribs on either side were taken out i think it'd be amazing

Not sure, and yeah I don't like those side pieces either....I chose my custom stripes over a hood with a scoop....would have been cheaper to get the hood! lol Time for bed....night!
