HaHa... That would be really funny. Just swapping the Hoods back and forth.

Maybe we could give you some insight if you gave us some background information on the car that you plan to put it on. Remember everyone else is going to give their personal opinion so it comes down to one thing:

i personally am in love with the jongbloed hood so here's what you do.....

1) buy both hoods

2) have them ship the jongbloed to me and i'll try it out for you

3)you try the other one and decide which you like better

4) you keep the one you like and i'll keep the other

I vote for the Jongbloed hood.
I'd get one for my cars if they had a Firebird version.

you can switch 3rd brake lights pretty easily the hardest part is aligning the hatch

well I was leaning towards the jongbloed hood, and I think I am gonna settle with that hood, thanks. So I could swap hatches the hardest part is aligning it? That doesn't sound too hard at all.

If it were my car I'd get the SS ram air hood,though I like my stocker a lot,not too keen on the looks of the jongbloed hood.

unbolt the glass from the hinge instead of the hinge from the car

Id go with the jongbloed one because the raim air one doesnt really look right on the camaros, it only looks good on a bird that has the spoiler to go with it and even then it only looks good on the 91-92 ones. I think the hood is to round for most of our cars and if you ask me you cant go wrong with a good looking cowl such as the jongbloed one.

it's not hard but it is the hardest part of the swap just take the old hatch off and leave the hinges alone that will make it easier but then you may have to adjust the decklid to get it perfect
