That's the big block style hood, looks better than the ss in my opinion. Lol I like the small cowl hood though

Re: Best aftermarket Camaro hood: Cowl vs. SS.....
Is there anyway to have the turbo cowl hood without totally rusting the engine when water gets in? Haha

If anyone in Oklahoma or surrounding area has an SS hood they want to trade for a new steel 3 inch cowl hit me up. I would like to trade. It's currently painted sunset orange metallic.

^ that cowl actually fits the 3rd body great!

Unlike the basic cowls that just mimic the 69 camaro version.

Cerridius that's nice!!! I just bought my son a '89 with that same hood and I was thinking of going with those stripes. Were they modded to fit?

Cowl all the way. I don't think the lines of the SS hood compliments the boxy features of the gen 3. But who am I, I still have a flat stock hood lol.

Re: Best aftermarket Camaro hood: Cowl vs. SS.....
I think the Turbo Daytona style is the best since it's the only hood that allows you to keep the louvers/blisters and the stock flared stripes. I didn't see a picture of a finished Daytona Turbo hood in this thread so here's mine. Stripes are painted on and the side vents are cut open and functional now.

Seems to me it's advertised that way but as far as I know, there's only one Sunoco / Jongbloed hood. And the advertised height to me always seems to be exaggerated.

Tibo, if you're still around, that hood is sweet. Can you let me know where to find it?

Thanks

Re: Best aftermarket Camaro hood: Cowl vs. SS.....


Aftermarket, my preference is the SS hood. More clearance than an IROC hood and looks almost as good 😀😃🙂

Took the vendor two attempts to provide one unwarped hood that wasn't U shaped.
