I assume you're talking about the type of bulge used on the '68-'69 Vettes, right? Because the '67 L88 scoop is the standard '67 stinger. 

No, I've never seen the '68-type bulge on a resin C2 hood. I've never seen one used on a real C2 Vette,  either, and I've seen just about every kind of custom hood treatment you can imagine.  I'm having a hard time imagining that it would look good. But if that's what you really want, you might have to make it yourself. Grab a Revell '68 or '69 Vette kit and have at it. B)

When I was a teen, there was a neighbor who had a custom 63 Splitwindow. It was black with flared fenders, chrome side pipes and a candy blue stripe that started at the front of a 68 L88 scoop and went over the roof to the back valance. The car was beautiful, my buddies and I would always stop to stare as it drove by. I can graft a scoop, just trying to save myself the trouble.
