I agree, I get nausea every time I see the turbo daytona hood.

Re: hoods hoods hoods! post bad *** pics of your hoods

I hate those turbo daytona hoods they are so damn ugly. The one with the plexiglass inserts made me throw up in my mouth a little. Seriously that engine is nothing special to look at. It's not like it has a kick *** turbo system or an exotic fuel injection system to show off.

Re: hoods hoods hoods! post bad *** pics of your hoods

It might be the tire size. I bought new springs from PST but i bought them stock height because I was afraid to lower it because Irocs are low as it is and was afraid of the speed humps and bumps because of scratches. It has gotten scratched anyway. I'm thinking about lowering it though. I don't think it looked that high with the original 16" gold Iroc wheels becasue the tires were bigger but I don't recall.

Strongly disagree...and don't bash someones car. Say something about a different hood or something instead of just bashing about his engine. Post pics of your engine...I highly doubt you have the kind of money to throw a turbo at it. And there is nothing wrong with his hood. It's just an opinion but I think that his engine (being dressed up) With blue ?K&N? air cleaner and top, which are both blue, along with his whole engine really accent his car. If you notice he has a nice metallic blue paint that matches with the engine.

Your post is confusing, first u quote someone who likes the hood and you say you agree, than you quote someone who says the hood makes him want to throw up everytime he sees it and you say you agree with that.. make up your mind. For the record I think it's the tackiest looking hood ever made. The one with the glass inserts is much better looking and would look great if it was just a regular iroc hood IMHO still it's very well done and makes an otherwise ugly hood look nice. I would tend to agree with the above poster that what's showing through under it is rather boring looking but I think I remember from a previous post that he has something planned to go under it.

Re: hoods hoods hoods! post bad *** pics of your hoods

I'll go ahead and throw my collection over the years. Started with the RAII when it was first offered by US Body Source and was freaking $$$$. I can't find my pics of right before the wreck, it had billet grills in the hood and new lenses.

ugly car, ugly pic but you get the picture
fiberglass hood installed by previous owner
car only has about 500 miles on it since i resurrected it from the dead.
Been dead since 2001. Irocs suck on dirt roads by the way.
It'll look better soon
Oh, that stripe?? There was a BRA on the car while it sat. When I removed it; the paint came with it.
BTW,,,how do you guys "see" outta them huge cowl hoods, I can barely see outta mine and its small,,,notice the dents on the front fender.

Re: hoods hoods hoods! post bad *** pics of your hoods

Here are some updated pics of my freshly painted hood. As you may recall, I had posted pictures several months back (first page of this post)when the hood was primered, and the louver holes were freshly cut.
Here she is now...new paint and finished louvers! I hope to have the entire car buffed soon.

Now that should be the way GM should of made this hood. I have the one with the blisters thinking about doing this mod myself.

Re: hoods hoods hoods! post bad *** pics of your hoods

STOCK, just the way it belongs. I was considering going with a carbon fiber cowl hood, the Sunoco, or SS hood, but it is just not worth it to me. Staying stock gives me anywhere from $300-$700 more to put into my drivetrain, and paint job.

I've been wanting to get rid of the Ultra Blue since I bought my IROC, black will look nice.

I was the first one to bring the Carbon Fiber Iroc Hood and now I bring the 98-02 style SS hood to the 3rg gen. I still have to file fit the hood and paint it of course, but none the less I think this style hood looks perfect on the 3rd gen. I felt that the current SS hood scoop (95-97) looked a little to big and out of place on the third gen.

Direct quote from Justin's Car Domain page:

All you have to do is look. I personally love them wheels, even though it's not really my style. The stock IROC style has really grown on me in the past few months. Not too flashy at all, yet beautiful in it's own way.

I don't know if the reaper is staying, i like it other than the blue flames. The previous owner had it painted like 10 yrs ago but i think the artist is still around.. might see if she can touch it up.

Re: hoods hoods hoods! post bad *** pics of your hoods

heres mine. far from done, but it gets the job done. bought the cracked bolt on turbo hood and then a harwood aero scoop. turned the bolt on to a pin on by removing the inner fiberglass. 1st pic is when i got the cracked hood. 2nd is inner section out and beginning of fiberglass. 3rd is how it is now with the corners fixed and the aero scoop fiberglassed on.

hey guy that's my car and my hood that I made, you should really think b4 u speak considering that motor under it is worth 5 times what ur whole car is, granted it didn't look like anything special under the windows when the pic was taken

It's funny you mentioned a turbo should be shown off, because the car houses a single borg Warner s475 turbo now, a custom one off kit I built jus like the whole car. And the motor was painted car color so everything matches

you can grab the feb issue of camaro performers if you wanna see for yourself.

Look around the power adder section you can see it. Until then have a nice day cheving on the foot that's in your mouth

HAHAHA love it! I dont get why people on here go around bashing everyone else. We are all entitled to our own opinions but when you get to being rude just keep your mouths shut, no one wants to hear it.

Ive got an SS hood on my car, still in the primer it came in. Ill post pics of it after I get her painted, Im goin to put an orange stripe on the side of it to match the two tone of the car black on top and atomic orange on the bottom

That is amazing looking and perfectly executed... You have one of my favorite cars on this site, very clean and tastefully modified...

JMR- Have you got your hood mounted yet?? Curious to see how it turns out...

Pick me one up too!

Ok so from what I can tell from the website, is that they do not ship to the US. And the hood is priced at 147,000 yen. which is a ways above $1500.00. It looks like a quality piece, along with their spoiler and roll cage, but just way too expensive I must say.

Re: hoods hoods hoods! post bad *** pics of your hoods

I have an OEM Iroc style drop in fiberglass hood if your interested. You can run either sytle louvers or none at all if you prefer. Also you will have the benefit of some weight savings as the hood weighs about 26lbs. If your interested send me your email I will give you some pics of the hood.

Re: hoods hoods hoods! post bad *** pics of your hoods

IIRC the stock iroc hood is 61lbs, my fiberglass Daytona weighs 35lbs. I think it weighs that much due to the steel skeleton still used on the hood for the stock hinges. Either way a fiberglass hood is a nice upgrade.

its a 4 inch goodmark. i layed out the stripes, i never understood why they didn't follow the lines of the hood from the factory.
