that japanese hood looks pretty slick, but i still have to go with the ss hood. I still have to get the bowtie grill and the 91-92GFX on the front and then it will look even better

I honestly think all the hoods that were posted look great on every thirdgen Camaro....IF they are done right with the rest of the car. Meaning.....style of the ground effects, paint scheme, stance of the car.....it all kind of fits together.

i agree it depends on the build of the car, for now i prefer the stock iroc/z28 accordingly or ss hood. cowl hoods on the irocs though.

i like the cervini ram air hood. i cant find a pic right now, but i can get one. also the daytona (or turbo) hood, with the louvers on the cowl. but my favorite is the stock z28 hood with louvers.

I would have to say the blister hood is my favorite stock hood, ss being my favorite aftermarket.

Car: Pair of 92 Z28s
SS hood in my opinion for the 91-92s.
2 1/2" - 3" for the Irocs.
91-92 gfx with the scopes fits the hood and irocs got more of the smooth look in which i think the cowl fits perfect.
Me honestly id go with a 3" cervani for my car...as ive just loved cowls forever they got the intimidating look and just appeal to me.

that and at least 3 people to take parts.
you need to a lead driver that can drive a perfect rate as well as steady.
good camera guy, someone who is small to fit in the trunk or a truck bed open enough to do so and a driver of the main car that can keep a 1-1.5' distance from the lead car without hitting the car. the key is to keep both cars steady and pacing in the end. the gyro on the camera was really something else as it was amazing how it cured the shaking that is common with most anyone during an open time lapse shot. i think over 200 of the 500+ shots were spent trying to get 1 good moving shot.
i wish they would have used more of them.

I'm a HUGE fan of the SS hoods on ThirdGens. They just make the car look so sleek and sexy! I'm actually going to get one for both my Camaro AND my Suburban when the cash flow starts getting good again

I think we sell more SS hoods than the others. I have two new molds about ready to start producing them . We have always been back ordered on these since we started manufacturing them in about 97 I think. Rex

Yea that's fiberglass. I had to cut out the factory scoops due to they wouldn't let the invert curve the way it should.

Re: Best looking Camaro Hood?
#1 Daytona hood
#2 Big Block hood
#3 2" cowl hood
And the hood i hate the most is that ugly WS6 hood that should only be on late model 4th gen birds and NEVER on a 3rd gen.
IMO

I liked these hoods, but not sure how they'd look on a 3rd gen

(it'd have to have a long stinger in front like these and painted a different color)

Re: Best looking Camaro Hood?
I personally think the factory 91-92 hood w/ blisters is perfect. If we're only talking after market, a 2"-4" cowl hood fits the lines of these cars very well.
