as the title says...i let my friend drive my car and he hit a deer and now i need a new front end, new hood, and new fender.

 

Just bought a RA2 with air box.. so theres my vote..

 

What kind of car do you have?

 

big block

 

86 camaro z28 with a 68 327 for an engine. right now it has a 4" cowl but i have to get a new hood and i want something different.

 

Go with the big block, it looks better on camaros.

 

well my opinion, not that it matters, is as follows. The ram air hoods only look good on the birds because it flows more with the body lines. I do really like the big block hood and when I get my car repainted Im getting either that one or a cowl for it. I mean just look at the hood it looks mean as hell if you ask me

 

the big block hood looks 10 times better than the RA2 hood.

 

meridius wat color blue and silver is that.
are they made by ppg
if they are can i have the codes please.

 

My Vote for the Big Block...it fits the car MUCH better....

 

I wish that was my car lol. I just had the picture because I thouhgt that car looked awesome, I do beleive they are a member here so hopefully they will see this post and answer that question for you.

 

big block all the way. looks ten times better imo.

doc

 

Can I vote SS?

Seriously though, go with the big block. RA2 looks like crap on Camaros... actually, I don't like it on anything other than 98+ birds

 

Jocww, that is my car. It is actually Dodge Blue from a 1998 pickup and the silver is from a viper of the same year, nothing special, but the blue does have some blue sparkle added to it also, you just cannot tell because the pic is not that good and is dark.

my brothers 87 Z28...

 

with these pics i think i will be goin big block. i dont want the SS b/c it is way to over played. plus one of my favorite cars is a 67 vette that came with that hood.

 

Call me overplayed then.....haha, j/k man, I respect your opinion. Around here....NOONE has the SS hood...that's why I got it....

 

well there is this ******** i know around here with the SS hood and i dont want to hear him say i am copyin off his. there is one car with the big block around me and its a 4th gen

 

I would agree that the ram air hoods belong on firebirds, Go with the Big Block hood!

 

Since its on a Camaro, I'd go with the big block, even though I don't really like either of them all that much.

 

84customZ28- Did you make the front scoop on you're hood functional? I like the big block hood but I don't like how it looks with the plastic in the front. Hmm...

 

Are you talking about My SS hood on my 91 Z28..or the Big Block hood on my brothers 87 Z28? The SS hood comes functional.....just no air box. It's cutout and comes with a screen. On my brothers Big Block hood....we painted the front part with satin black spray paint and added a screen to make it look functional...but..it's not functional.

 

Where's the "Other" option? The ASCD SS hood is getting a little trendy, but I think it's pretty slick. The Ram Air is sleek and agressive but it's a Firebird thing, lastly the Big Block hood is a cool nostalgic Camaro thing that's unique, but looks dated (and like a rocket launcher). Just my $0.02, I guess you can't lose really, they're all unique. Besides, what do we know, what do you like? It'd help if we had pics of the car too to see what kind of "theme" you've got goin' on...

 

I was referring to the big block hood. You don't happen to have a picture of the bottom, and a close up of where the cutout would be on the big block hood would you?

 

there are a few changes since these pics. i got a new grill and new tires and what not. but pretty much the same.

 

I can get one...no prob

 

and if someone wants to photoshop a pic of it on this pic to see what it would look like.

 

here is the pic.

 

ok..snapped a couple pictures of the SS hood and the Big Block hood. Here is my brothers Big Blcok hood painted satin black with black screen. It's hard to see in the picture....but..it looks pretty good in front of you...

 

My SS hood...with the original screen...and I added a sheet of expanded aluminum to accent the hood a bit. It will look better when I paint the hood. I think my brother want's to add a sheet of expanded aluminum on his Big Block hood too...I'm going to make another sheet for my SS hood....this one is a lil bent up...but..you get the idea....

 

one more..of the SS scoop..with the expanded aluminum grill

 

84customZ28- Thanks those are great pics. The SS hood looks sharp on that car. I have a question about the the bottom of the big block hood. Is the under side of the hood just a mold of the top, or is it covered in some way? I am curious about making it functional.

 

It's molded the same way...it is very possible to make it a functional hood...I was going to cut it out on my brothers car...but...I just wasn't sure if it would crack around the edges...since it was cut into...?? ...and I don't know of anyone who has done it. It wouldn't hurt to maybe line the inside of it...where it has been cut with a layer of fiberglass...to reinforce it....just a thought..

 

I would have to fiberglass it or reinforce it someway for my idea to work anyway. The big block hood looks like it sits a good 2 inches above where the stock hood sits, so its possible I could do something with that. I liked the last pic you posted of the front of the car with the SS hood, do you have one of the big block hood like that?

By the way I checked out you're site, you have a really nice camaro.
