Im also debating on painting the headlight buckets black or not....

Its not that i have to look at it i just think it ruins the looks of a camaro. I dont see how it flows at all cause it just doesnt match the car. Now if that was a stock 92 hood or a ss hood or even a cowl it would look much better imo but the car still looks clean.

I think your car looks great, even the hood! You planning any more mods to the body? That thing would look sick lowered aliitle, and some darker windows, and blackouts. White looks great on thirdgens anyhow, of couse I'm biased.

Very nice car, the hood looks just great as well. It's a matter of perspective, those who like the hood and those who do not. If there was a stock 3rd or 4th gen Camaro with a RAII, everyone would say the hood looks great. Funny how things like that are.

Good job with the paint, and the hood is pretty cool. Are those stock exhaust tips?

Killer ride man.....
Looks like you spent lots of time on body and prep work. I'm not a huge fan of that style hood, but it really looks good on your car. You said you were thinkin about painting the headlight buckets......DOOOOO ITTTTTT. It looks a lot better and will break that white up a little. Could use a lower profile tire and a little drop, but I really like it.
Congrats!!

With the way my car looks right now I should not even comment but "I" am not a fan of the RAII hood on Camaros. It kind of looks bulky to me. Your car though, sport it if you like it!
