hey guys, I'm undecided which hood to go for. I've seen a couple pics of the WS6 ram air hood, and thought it looked really cool, and haven't seen one on a camaro locally, but on other vehicles recently. anyways I was totally up on that until I saw that style of hood on one of the fellow members rides, black one I think, and it didn't look that great after I saw it, maybe it was the color or bad angles, but has anyone seen this in person. if so what was it like? look as good as the good pictures? lol

and the SS. does it have an open rear at the back like a cowl? if you could post some pix please do

cheers

the back is flat and closed off.. i think im the only one here that has cut the back of it out to make it more functional.. im doin a 355 engine swap now tho so i cant take pics but when i start working on it ill take pics of the hood

 

mine looks really good, but i don't know where you got your from with the back shut like that.......mine has the cowl style inlet with 2 large hot-air extractors with the screens plus the front of the hood is fully functional..the only backdraw to this hood is..all the dust gets ur pretty engine compartment soooo dirty unless you have some sort of ram air set up for it but other than thant its a clean lookin hood


hope you make the right choice!

 

my ss

 

back is flat to the edge

 

here is a picture of the back of the SS hood, BTW, this SS hood is FORSALE

 

man that sucks, I think it shold be open... my dads work build fiberglass things like drag boats and 34 ford and *******, so they could always help me modify it

cheers

it would be very easy to cut the back of it out.....just use a die grinder and some sand paper...and there ya go. There are a few people on this site that have midified it with no problems. I like the back of it....it's molded just like the 96-97 SS hoods....i like not being able not to see my engine through my windshield. My brother has the Big Block hood on his 87..and you can see the engine and stuff....just not a big fan. Good luck on your decision!

 

how much are you wanting for you hood, did you use it? for how long if so? cheers blake :lala:

 

It's actually a friend of mine..I'm just trying to sell it for him...I already have an SS hood on my 91. He used it for about 3 months....but decided he didn't want it....he wants $400....might take a little less...I had it posted on the classifieds awhile back..
