Hey guys.Like said my best bud owner of a 02 gt which comes with stick on hood scoops thinks I need a different hood.I happen to really like my hood.Thought I would get some real opinions from all the 3rd gen brothers.Whatcha think!!!!

 

You need another hood.

 

I wouldnt buy it, but I dont mind it

 

i like that hood, its different and not too much.
it also gives you more room under the hood


keep it

 

I think this thread should really belong in Auto Detailing and Appearance, but I think your buddy's crazy. There's nothing wrong with that hood. It looks great.

 

i like the hood, nobody else has one

 

stick on hood scoops suck. I'd never put them on my car

 

next!

 

dude, i don't like your hood, just my opinion. but tell you rustang owning friend to sit down and STFU. his car comes with a non functional piece of crap glued to the hood, when he gets rid of that then he can talk.

 

I agree with the Appearance board part, I'll move it there now.

 

those inlets look too small for the way the hood is shaped

 

way better before the cheesey stick on scoops.

 

Now cut a whole in the ram air stick on's so a bug catcher/ blower scoop can fit thru them. That way you'll have everyway of getting air to the engine.

 

doesnt look good imo

 

you need to dump that hood BIG TIME...it doesnt look right and the air inlets are ridiculously small...take those off and cut in a big air inlet or heat extractor (the reverse of an air inlet)...the width of the cowl and ill bet it would look much better

 

 

what's wrong with a stock IROC hood i'm probably one of the few people who thinks that the stock IROC and Z28 hoods are the best looking hoods out there for our cars

 

I kinda like that hood. Is it a Jongbloed with scoops stuck on it? If the scoops are just glued on, you might want to try removing them and see how that looks. But otherwise it isn't a bad lookin hood. In my opinion anyway.

And don't listen to the Mustang guys...

 

you could take a stock iroc hold, cut out the metal from under the louvers, and have the same exact system, minus the autozone special looking hood scoops.

your would look killer minus the scoops, IMHO.

 

my personal opinion, i DONT like that hood. Those opening are way to small as stated before. I like the stock hood as well. The SS hood looks pretty good as does a cowl hood. By themselves that is.

 

Either go stock or get a cowl

 

 

umm...no to the scoops

 

 

I'd prefer just a cowl hood or IROC style.

I dont think those are glues on, pretty sure he was saying his buddies car has glued on scoops and that hood comes like that.

 

Ya that's right,my buddies 02 gt mustang has stick on scoops,and he was saying he wasn't a fan of my hood,mine is a fiberglass hood with no stick on's.I was just wanting to see what 3rg gen people thought of it.I wasn't just going to take the opinion of a mustang owner.You know what I mean!It was on the car when I bought it.The good thing about it is the wife can't see over the thing in the seat.soooooo nooooo drivey for her.

 

I agree what wrong with a IROC hood?? I think that would be the best choice IMO

 

When in doubt go stock

 

I think it looks alrite. I don't think I've seen a hood like that. In the end though, YOU are the one that's driving it, so if you like it, keep it.

 

its different, and cool, keep it....with a 5 inch spoiler...

 

Who gives a **** what anyone else thinks? If you like it, you keep it..

Its as simple as that.

Cheers,
Richard.

 

 

Dude, Thats a little dinky looking for a camaro, CHANGE IT!!!!

 

your hood is cool but i would take off the scoops. and i also think the iroc hoods are very cool

 

i do too, i think that the original IROC hood looks awesome in our cars

i think u should take that hood off and get an original IROC one, or an SS one, plus i didnt keep mine because of the size of the engine

 

I don't like the stick on scoops. The cowl hood looks ok though.

 

Just take the stick on scoop off and it would look good in my book. Dont get a new hood....Waste of money. Do it the cheap way, get a iroc hood(if a new hood)

 

it looks out of place.
id say get an early Z hood. but thats just my taste. if you like the hood, keep it and make fun of your friend for driving a mustang.

 

IMO, I think you should go and take off those scoops. The ram air style holes are too small, so it doesnt look as tough as it could. If you could figure out some way to take off the scoops it would look a lot sleeker. In reality though its whether you like the hood or not, and quite frankly you can tell your mustang friend to mind his own business. As other members have wrote, IROC hoods look nice too, so if you have the cash and want to change, you have lots of options. Just don't change it off what your friend said, its your car, make it the way you like it.

 

ill give it to you for letting someone trying something new on your car i would of never let someone do it to mine just incase of well this it looks really bad imo

 

cut the BS...order a carbon fiber hood from japan and have something everyone will drool over...i want one of thsoe hoods sooo bad!! heh but https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/atta...-cuts-2158.jpg wouldnt be a bad compromise..i would buy it if it wernt too expensive heh

 

This might be a good place to ask, can someone give me the measurements of a stock Camaro hood?
Thanks

 

there's only one real hood for a camaro.. 9" cowl!!
