hoods galore

Let me know if you disagree, but does anyone else feel that it would be beneficial if we had a COMPLETE library of hoods for both Camaro and Firebird?

I am looking for all the Camaro hoods available... I know that there are lots of cowl hoods out there and I'd like to know brand/fit info on each one. I want to make sure that when I dump $400ish down on a hood, I'm getting the perfect one for me!

Well, fiber glass hoods don't always come perfect right out of the box... Its more personal preference when it comes to styles,

yeah but every manufacturer uses there own molds. so each one is a bit different...and there are a lot of manufacturers out there. even from the SAME company, each hood varies - it's just the was fiberglass is. just to have pics of each hood isn't enough...you'd be better off just readign the reviews on this site and see what hoods fit best, and then out of those pick one that you like.

I agree, everyone (including myself) has asked "I wonder what that hood looks like" and then they start a thread. Then you get the usual "try the search button'' answer. It does need to be categorized by manufacturer. When I get my Cervini on I will take a **** load of pics so anyone who questions it can see every angle and fitment.
