Re: New Third Gen Camaro Hood!

as stated before, it would be better if the front of the scoop was a little wider to match up with the front bumper of a firebird or trans am.

Its really sad that us firebird/trans am owner get the **** end of the stick when it comes to aftermarket hoods... i dont want a RA1 or RA2 hood and a cowl just doesnt look right on a street car IMO

That's because the 82-92 Trans Am and firebird formula are perfect. (the 82-92 firebird would be to if they came with 82-84 TA/ 87-92 formula hoods lol)

Re: New Third Gen Camaro Hood!

based on this hood, i made my own, it's 89 percent done now, thought i'd share. all metal by the way, i hate fiberglass on top of metal, but man it's heavy now.

I still agree with this. I'm by no means a tire kicker, but with the great looks of the IROC hoods, and the $600 price tag, I'll stick with my stock hood. I'd rather spend 600 dollars on something that will be useful, like the T-56 I plan on buying.

Re: New Third Gen Camaro Hood!

I think its a good looking hood, just nice to see some variety for the 3rd gens. The scoop kinda reminds me of the charger srt8 one.

Re: New Third Gen Camaro Hood!

I think it looks good! Loneroad, so this hod can be made functional if you buy the ram air box?

i dont know if there is a ram air box for this hood. There is a insert in the scoop, but the scoop isnt cut out yet. I can take a pic of this for you so you can see what i mean.
