82-84 hood... clash with 92 gfx? And Modding a stock FG hood....

Hey I have an 84 z28 fiberglass hood, the kind with the two scoops, and was wondering if it would kinda clash with the newer style 92 gfx. Would it look good? I'd also be running a reg ducktail spoiler.

Now also, how hard/expensive would it be for me to buy a fg scoop, and mold it on, and then fill in any remaining space. Would this be a pretty cool idea? A cheaper way for me to get a pretty cool hood?

thanks for any help/advice

Hey man, I will get you a pic of what the 91-92 gfx look like with the fiberglass hood. I put 91-92 gfx on my 83 Z and have the fiberglass hood. Im just waiting on the front piece, then I will get you some pics.

Sorry for the long wait but I finally got pics I dont think they clash at all. It looks good to me. If I dont get an Blister hood I will probably stay with this.

Looks good to me, very similar looking to the 91-92 z28 hood anyway except they are raised instead of lowered into the hood.

Yeah it does sort of resemble that hood. If I dont get a hood within the next week Im just going to with it. Its fiberglass too I need to get my car painted asap. I should be done with all the prep work by the end of the week. Cant wait to see it one color again

This is my friend Pauls car

He also did this

And now he plays with 2 of these

Anyways, it's an 83, the hood is a stock glass hood and it's got (as you can see) the 91-92 ground effects and spoiler.
