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

[cool z]

can eneyone post some convertible's with the ss hood?

[KYLE87]

A cowl for a hard top or T, but for a vert as much as i dont like them an ss looks better than a cowl on a vert

[Rayzor32]

I like the regular cowl hoods and iroc hoods. Those crazy hood scoops and 4" cowls look too canadian

[rv34]

cowl all the way

[phillip_helmet]

The SS hood looks really good, but EVERYbody has it. That's why I went with the Big Block Stinger hood. Plus, I think it looks pretty awesome.

I would love that hood on a thirdgen if it didnt have such a curve on them front pieces. what I am thinking is kinda like a cowl but with part of the front cut out of it. it would be like a ss hood with sharper corners that would follow the lines of the car, instead of ignoring them.

out of the ones I have seen I would probably go with a vis carbon fiber 2" cowl and probably paint the top of the hood to match the body (assuming I dont like how it looks in person)

I love the "big block or stingray" hood. I want one for my Z28.

[Broc]

i have a bigblock stingray hood and i might sell it if i can find a daytona hood for my car and i'm getting ready to take the hood to a body shop to get the scoop cut out and a screen put in so it looks better. so if anyone wants it let me know and i will go ahead and have them sand and primor the whole hood so it will be ready for paint. the hood is in good shape but there are some cracks in the hood from when i was going too fast and pasted a simi and the wind broke one of the front locks, it was very windy, but the cracks are small and i will get them fixed for you if you want and i got new locks so the front locks are new and if i get the work done to the hood i will be asking around $500, the hood is fiberglass lift off and has holes in the corners for hood pins, you can't see to well but look at my picture to see what i'm talking about

[572_Rat]

A 4" cowl is the only thing that is going on my car, just can't decide between Glasstek or VFN

[DyingYoung138]

I seem to be the only one that likes the turbo iroc hood. This is the hood I'm putting on my Camaro whenever I get ahold of one. Loved it since I first saw one a few years ago. I've got one pretty similar on my 86 TA

[janson327]

I just got my engine done in my own camaro and the damn hood won't close over it So now I to must pick a new aftermarket hood... 2" cowl or SS hood? Hmmm... Only aftermarket hood I have ever seen on a camaro around here is the WS6 ram air II hood, so that one is out.

It is a 1983 Z28 that has its original ground effects.

[Rayzor32]

think of it as a good thing now you get to get a cool hood! id go cowl all the way, but please no goofy *** 4" tall ones

[84zw305]

jason 327 the cowl hood looks awesome on an 82 84 camaro for sure its my personal favorite but thats just my opinion yours is the only one that really matters

[toxik IROC]

I finnaly can add a pic!

[We'reNotWorthy]

I have seen both in person and like them both. The cowl hood has such a aggressive look. I feel the SS hood is more of a 4th gen hood but looks good on 3rdgens. I would god cowl all the way unless its a vert.

[Rayzor32]

fiberglass cowl hood w/ chrome hood pins.

[RS Reaper]

cowl turbo hood, I really want one but all of these hood are some big money.

[mesterz2889]

http://nashville.craigslist.org/pts/714550059.html pretty damn cheap if your local

Is there really someone here got a convert having an ss hood??! Lemme see, lemme see

[wildviper44]

i say cowl personally, because the ss hoods just don't look right on 3rd gens to me. don't get me wrong i like the ss too and have seen some nice cars with ss hoods, but IMHO the cowls fit the look of the body style of our cars better. i can't wait til i get one!

[19CAMARO85]

hey man, i was just thinking about like the little holes that might let water in especially when being washed or if they have weak spots or somthing lol im not sure i was kinda wondering to. -Matt

[91camarosRS]

look at the one that came on my car. i have not seen another EXACTLY like it. the turbo iroc the holes are slanted a little

[travishenry]

Hawk's sells them for about $450 or so last time I checked. I would say plenty of other companies sell them, hell, you could probably find them on eBay if you wanted to trust that. lol.

[rs camaro92]

İ have this hood to and İ love it. İts different from the others so you stand out more.

[rs camaro92]

Yall should check ebay. İ bought my stingray hood off of there 200 dollars cheaper

[weswisehart]

Is that hood functional? It doesnt look so. If anyone has a good website for fiberglass ss hoods please post. I have looked at a few and with shipping looks to be about $550. Just wondering if I can find a better deal.

[rs camaro92]

No its not a functional hood but, its a hell of alot lighter than the stock hood I had and it bolts up to the original hinges. The hood weighs 38 pounds.

How much did you get that hood for and did it bolt with the bolts from the original hood it woulod look good on my restoration iroc i have right now

[rs camaro92]

it was about the price of the ss I think. I bought it 3 or 4 years ago but 550 sounds right and yes it does bolt right up. you may have to loosen up the hinges to make the bolt holes line up but yeah the hard part is getting the old hood off. Dont do it alone. I did and regret it. I cut my hand open pretty bad. It was a great feeling though when i picked up the new hood and installed it on my own with no problem.

[SiCkRs]

were could you find them and how much are they

[rs camaro92]

You can o to www.fbodymotorsports.com and get ripped on the price or go to ebay and get it for a cheaper price.

[SiCkRs]

What do you type in though i tried and only got some for 93 and up

[rs camaro92]

i tried it just now. click in the search box, type in 92 camaro hoods

[89RSCAMAROMAN]

Both. I like them both.

[sk8r fer life]

Hey wats up, my freind is giving me a free third gen hood from an iroc and its missing the louvers ,and needs paint , but i need to find louvers for it does anyone know where i can get them for cheap?

help would be appreciated.

[mmadden55]

These guys have a selection and they build them strong and quality.

[86NiteRider]

I have a Daytona Twin Turbo on my 86 but have been thinking I want to switch to a SS or Big Block Stinger...so if someone wants to trade we can talk...might even add a little money...let's deal...I really prefer not to ship because I will catch hell trying to find a box...I am willing to drive to meet for a trade...

[rs camaro92]

Heres my hood with some fresh paint to give you a better idea.

[Badass355ciz28]

i like my hood............

[IROC-Z_Racing]

Just wondering about the Jongbloed hood. Has anyone every tried to retrofit the IROC louvers into the hood, doesn't have to be functional louvers, but just flush mounted into the surface to give it aesthetics?

This is the best i can find. fbodymotorsports use to have a ton of pictures of this car but this is all they have left of it. Its a convertable and it looks amazing, the whole car not just the hood.

[Slash]

SS
