Going rate for used black hood in great condition?
What's the going rate (price, USD) for a used black hood in great condition? I am considering the possibility of going _FULL GHETTO_ with a hood for some air-flow testing...

Timely post, I just picked up one w/ a car, paint is bad but I'm going to wrap or Spray Wrap it in satin black.
Looking a cutting a "fresh Air" intake in it for my Twin Screw SC, just been researching different type of scoops / holes / vents that others have done.
Would like to do something that Porsche may have done back in the day, or maybe just a screen/grid type hole like can be found on newer models.
I'll be posting in the Twin Screw thread, but could look for a "Hood mod" thread or start one.

What's your real estate situation under the hood? How much does the supercharger pulley etc. limit you in integrating ducts into the hood?

Not too bad, I already started to build an Air-Box, right now pulling in from the front.
I've made a Heat deflector, out of aluminum so as not to pull Hot air from the Fans, covered hot side of the deflector and that Black Intake tube w/ heat reflective foil,
My Fluke IR temp gun shows an ~20 degree difference below the deflector, now thinking of boxing it and making a flush Grill opening in the hood above that Air Filter.
That would put the hole part way into the rear of the Hood cross bracing, ultimately an insulated air box where that filter now sits w/ a direct port in the Hood would be my goal.
It's very similar to what you did on your latest Twin Turbo setup, I'd also like to include a block-off plate for the hole In case of rain/ washing, etc, so it doesn't soak the filter or fill the box.
