Default Replica Turbo Cup hoods?

Does anyone make these? I think this would be a great way to drop weight and hold up the heritage.

I don't know what a replica looks like, but I have the real thing sitting in my garage.

It basically looks about like the GT Racing fiberglass hood, except it has two recessed hood pin notches in it (one at either corner). Its also VERY light weight, even compared to non factory fiberglass panels, and unfortunately is pretty wavy and sensitive to heat as a result. Mine will be going on my 951 after some fairly extensive body work gets done to it.

There was a push a little while ago to get CF hoods made. Maybe someone could make a mold from the turbo cup hood. That would be a hood that I think would sell well. CF turbo cup hood replica w/ hood pins!

I have a few good, large pics of Cup hoods, but can't post them. Someone give me his adress? I can mail them to him, and he can put them here.
