fiberglass?

I need a new hood... like most of you already know.. but I just read a post where I learned that some camaro hoods were fiberglass... stock? anything like that on t/a? I know my '85 was metal the hard way heh... if I can get a fiberglass, stock one it'd be much better

from what I've heard, you're going to have to get a fiberglass firebood hood (they're sold at USBODY), and put the TA vents on. I'm considering doing this as well. There's already been a member to do it, and it looks nice.
