I know what you mean. I get tons of compliments. There is very few people who say they dont like it. I like regualar 2 1/2 cowls, but they are kinda plain for me. The SS is cool, but it seems like it is starting to get very popular and everyone is getting them. One reason i got mine was because aobut 2 and 1/2 years ago when i got it no one else had it. Now it is pretty common. Oh well it still looks good

I'll toss mine on here, I have yet to see another one like it. It's all fiberglass and it has a more traditional feel to it. I added on the "COWL INDUCTION" emblems about 3-4 months ago. What do ya think???

The coolest hood I like is an aftermarket Veilside hood for a toyota MRS. I think cowls and ram air hoods are aggressive great looking, but I like the flat hoods.

I would definatly buy a hood like this one if it were made for a Firebird.

They are Boyd Coddington "Shrikes." They measure 17x8 in the front and 17x9.5 in the rear.

Here is a side shot:

Does anyone have any ideas as to some cool aftermarket hoods that are not any form of induction for a camaro??? The ram air hoods and cowl hoods look cool but i run an efi setup and i like everything to be functional so a big azz cowl doesnt do me any good. I'm actually looking to see if i could get a stock iroc hood made up in fiberglass....if i have to get it custom done then i might even see if i can get functional louvers put in!
