firebird hood on camaros

Ok, a pet pev of mine. It does not look good either. In mpo a camaro with a ram air hood looks ridiculous. The lines are just not there. Same thing with trying to put a ram air hood on a third firebird, just looks funny. Why not just throw a pheonix on your z28, same thing.

Re: firebird hood on camaros

i completely agree, the ram air hoods have no place on a camaro. For that matter, they have to place of any 3rd gen or 93-97 4th gen. They only flow with the lines of a 98-02 4th gen car.

Some people love them on anything though.

Re: firebird hood on camaros

I can see why people want them on there cars, proably one of the nicest hood ever made. There is a 95-97 caamaro that has a cheap knock off, looks stupid and the thirds I have seen make them look like they belong in a trailer park even more. Prove me wrong and post your pic. Ill admit if I am wrong.

Re: firebird hood on camaros

I think the Ram Air I hood looks good on the 91-92 birds and the SS hood looks good on the camaros but thats it.

I'm not sure. I'm neutral.

CamaroGuy18's car. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/660540

I'm just thrilled the thirdgen f-body has so many different options out there. We have SS-style hoods for firebirds even.

as for the RAII hood, they kinda work on the 91-92, they seem to flow a little better.

Let people do what they wish.

It isn't your car, so you don't have to deal with it. This shouldn't even be an issue.

Re: firebird hood on camaros

Yeah, i'm not too crazy about them being on camaros either. Firebirds with 4th gen hoods look good though. But as others have said...pointless thread.
