I had never seen it before either, It was posted with a pic of the jap reverse cowl hood and a cowl hood with similar vents. maybe it's another other seas hood. It's cool though. I think on the right color that hood would look amazing. I think it would look good on a blue car.

yea the bird doesn't get many aftermarket hoods. It's hard to make one look better then a stock hood on one.

Re: who makes this hood??????????

[COLOR=Black]That hood isn't a Camaro hood - its for something else.

Looks like a Carbon By Design style hood, though.

Yes, the whole slope of the hood is different. You'd be better off starting with a Firebird hood and making a custom one.

Re: who makes this hood??????????

What was that one made for? For a Camaro, or just looks right for a Camaro?

If anybody has a Product Key # for CS2, I can PS it. I got a new laptop & can't find my Product Key # to install PS on my new laptop.

Its _NOT_ made for a 3rdgen at all - I've seen that hood before, I just can't remember exactly what its made for, but its not for a 3rdgen Camaro/Firebird. It just looks similar in shape, but that hood is considerably smaller than ours.

Just trying to put some sense to all this madness with a faux "new hood".

Because Viper owners will pay $1,200-1,500 for a hood...

F-body owners seem to want them for free.

Buy a hood and PAY a fiberglass shop to build you one. Will it cost some $$$ yeas. Will it be one of a kind? YES

Im doing a 1 off hood for my vette with euro headlights. It just takes time money and thought.
