Just giving a heads up on this relatively new hood on the market (I think). Its made by Harwood and called the Pro-Touring Type II style hood.

Comes with bolt on and lift off. Here's the site:

http://www.eharwood.com/catalog/prod...?productID=485

Saw it in a magazine a couple weeks ago for a 69 (big surprise ) but got really excited when I saw that they listed it for camaros from 67 - 92.

Id love to see a picture if someone could post one of the hood installed on a third gen cause I havnt seen any yet. I think the squareness would go really well with our cars.

yeah that must be new because i have never seen it before. glad companies are making parts for the most forgotten/misunderstood gen of camaros/f bodies

icebird84

it looks good

Brennan

a nice spin on the ss hood imo

Not bad at all, just think it might be better if it was higher in the back for us that need extra hood clearance in a bad way.

Agent727

Thanks for the replies. with all of the above.

Hmmmm i here photoshop time!...can someone photo shop this onto a firebird and a camaro so we can all see what it will look like? Special request coming from me for it to be on a 91-92 firebird?

Now not only does Papa Johns only give Camaro owners free pizza, but Harwood screws the Firebird owners (as usual) by only making their new hood for Camaros!

Odd thing is...In the drag racing world, competitors always choose the Firebird over the Camaro, due to better aerodynamics. But they are screwed when getting a custom hood, other than stock or cowl induction.

I need to get photoshop, but that hood is pretty cool, i did see a L88 hood offered at one time for the firebird, just dont remember who it was now.

I'll second the SS comment, just a different take. Wonder if it's functional. Don't think you could pull stripes off with it though.

mtwlkn122

AMEN STEPHEN!

Stripe(s), no, a single? Hell yes, it would be perfect. Black with the single white stripe starting at the opening and just the width of the top of the hood.

Agent727

Exactly what i was thinking im stuck between that or that newish "Sunoco" style hood thats at Hawks. Ordering one of the two in the next few days.

Almost didnt want to post the hood up and keep the idea to myself so it could be original haha but you know, gotta help out the fellow third genners... and maybe sell a few more hoods for harwood to show the large third gen aftermarket.

Glad this thread is getting some attention

82-92 Camaro Pro-Touring Series 2.5” Bolt-on Hood. Features a fully finished underside and installs with factory hinges and latches. Includes a custom trim bezel for the air inlet. Air inlet comes closed from the factory but may be cut open for a functional ram air effect.

Agent727

Ok, so here are two pretty crude photoshops of the hood on a camaro and a firebird (im being hopeful for you guys haha). They're kinda off scale wise and well, really not all that great in general so I dont need anyone to tell me that its just to get the general idea of it. Not to mention, i was bored. Just found the cars on a google image search so i dont know who the images, or cars, belong to.

Little too far back, for it to be very functional. I'd say it is right at the TB opening & certainly no room for a MAF, in a MAF car.

On a 'bird, I'd like to see it wider & angled even wider at the back, matching the indentations in the stock hood & the form in the nose in front of the hood.

DeathMetalTony

Thats a sick *** hood i wonder how much are they going to post it for.

That looks Bad-@ss on that bird. Hmmm.....Ideas for my next custom hood project?

....What do you think Stephen?

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

I think it is a good START, but far from finished.

FYRCHKN

I came real close to doing this right before I started hacking up my hood. If I ended up doing this I would follow the lines in the hood and move the opening forward enough to make a functional ram air for the LSX in my 89.

ZONES89RS

iTrader: (2)

Looks good on the bird for sure.

LOL Agreed!
Year One doesn't make a "Bandit" Camaro either now do they?

bluegrassz

iTrader: (3)

Sure would be nice to see on a car instead of a photoshop. There has to be pics of a car with this hood somewere.

Abubaca

iTrader: (3)

I think it looks pretty good. Most of the stuff out lately is 4th gen rip-off stuff. (some of which is cool). ...but it's nice to see something relatively original. The boxiness really fits the lines of our cars.

iTrader: (1)

lol I was kind of thinking that it's a 5th Gen SLP camaro rip off myself. Still a very nice hood and something different.

ThePain

Looks BADASS on that camaro!

InfernalVortex

iTrader: (4)

I think it's ugly. I wish they'd just do that louvred "reverse-cowl" japanese hood instead.

19doug90

i was so hoping that i was going to open this thread and see a heat extraction hood, oh well

doesnt look bad, definitly a 5th gen rip off

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

Like this one?

kinda sorta lol, i guess i oughta get into fiberglassing, cool piece

thegooseman

I think it looks cool. I like the idea it can be made functional. For a long time I wanted the SS hood but it was not functional.The only functional ram air hood for the camaro is the WS6 style ram air hood, and that hood I think is hideous on a camaro. Too bad this hood is $600 though.

19doug90

this is the reason no one builds **** for our cars

and it wont be overly functional if not simply for the fact that the scoop needs to be right on the leading edge of the hood to get any air.

Abubaca

iTrader: (3)

LOL, I couldn't agree more. Nothin' but tirekickers here.

I think that it's a pretty generic scoop. The earlier models of RA1 and RA2 scoop hoods are all but identical to 4th gen hoods, but this scoop is pretty generic. You can see it on cars from the 60's to today.

Not that I plan on getting an aftermarket hood, but if I did, this hood might be the one. Still can't beat a stock louvered hood though!

The Project

iTrader: (6)

I like it.

Reminds me of a BB or stinger hood with the hump removed.

$600 ain't bad. I'm looking at $800 - 1000 for aftermarket.

Gotta pay to play.

thegooseman

Im a full time college student and I flip burgers for money so $600 is a lot of money for me.

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

I don't think $600 is too high for a hood that is genuinely awesome and somewhat original.

I'll be looking into buying one for my convertible after I button up my LSX swap. I think this hood looks awesome and would compliment the uniqueness of my car quite well, with the swap and the custom grill I made. Thanks for posting this, I have a friend working on a photochop of it on my car right now, and when he's done I'll be sure to post it up. And he's realllly good at photochopping too.

Also, for those that don't like the $595 price tag, their site shows a lift-off version for $389 if you wanted to go that route.

Here ya go, a nice photochop:










I'm thinking I need this hood...

Brennan

loneroad

iTrader: (3)

jegs has it. 487-B12107 mine should be delivered thurs, or fri. Ill post pics.


IMO. F/B's had the best hood made for third gens. The power bulge.

//<86TA>\\

iTrader: (14)

i dont see what everbody else see's in the powerbuldge hood, yea its asymmetrical, so its different, but its not really anything special IMHO

St_Anger

found it on the Harwood website

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

No offense to whoever's car that is, but with that hood (as if this wasn't the truth anyways), you really NEED black headlight buckets and then it would look great.

85_ZED28

cIaRmOaCrZo

very weird lol, i was checkin out the red vert St_Anger posted and started to like the hood, comparing it to my SS hood, then started liking it alot!!! but i started thinking to myself "man those headlight buckets need to be black" then i went to read the next post and BlueZee28 said that lol. kinda spooky. good taste BlueZee28 lol.

mtflyboy

Wow that looks really good...

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

Yea, I think that's next on my list once the car is back on the road.

LB9Iroc87

you and those black headlight buckets, didnt you say that kitten dies everytime you paint a camaro and dont do that, lol. but i kinda like this hood, ill stick with the actory IROC hood and IMHO i like it better then just about any aftermarket hood

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

Ya I do remember saying that haha

loneroad

iTrader: (3)
