I have a 2in. Glasstek cowl hood and just the car back from the body shop after having it painted and installed. Heres a couple of pics of it, I'm happy with the way it looks, it fit well and the paint turned out great. And I have to thank cvpde37 for recommending glasstek and getting their phone number for me.

I like the SS myself.. but if you get a cowl, get the 2". I don't know if the daytona/turbo would look good on a brown car.

I think the black headlight pockets make the camaro front look a lot nicer. Its sort of like a trade mark thing. Just like the firebirds have their pop up headlights.

I just have never really liked the black pockets... I dunno why, they did look good in 97 though...

Im trying to get an idea of what my car would look like with the SS hood.
If someone could get rid of the red stripes on Mateos car, it would be great!!!
