Here is my new hood.I don't know if I relly lik it but I'll give it time before I buy a ram air II.

 

here it is with new paint.I did it today. I need to do something with the scoop.Like an aluminum grill. My wife says it look like batmans head upside down.

 

I'll get better pics. soon but it's been snowing so the lighting and angles aren't the best.

 

That is an SS hood right? it looks a little different to me.

It looks good to me but a 3 inch cowl would look better .

 

i dont care for that kind of hood personally especially on a firebird but its your car and your hood as long as you like it thats what matters

i personally would have gotten a ram air hood or a cowl if it were me.....

 

i think it looks much better than a 3 inch cowl, especially on the birds, because a cowl that big, just "cowling" looks a tad , ummmm, funny. On maro's especially on birds. Looks good on there, would be a little more inline , if it was only standard SS height of 1-1.5" I'd go with a blacked out grill in the front (something close to what the mustangs have) to give it some depth, espcially if you don't plan on attempting to make it functional.

 

i think it looks really good, good job

 

It's a super duty hood from hawks.It is a little high for my taste but I haven't seen another bird with one,thats why I got it.It will look a lot better when I get my rims.I can't really decide if I like it that much.If it doesn't really grow on me I'll sell it and by a ram air hood.I want to put a grill in it but I can't decide what kind.

 

 

I can't decide what to do with the cowl,cut a hole in it and put some mesh in or put some gauges in it.Any suggestions?

 

cut a hole, add some silver messhing, then get some of those under chasis lights inside the cowl. clean up the engine, and impress your passengers at night.

 

Thank you for posting pics of the super duty hood! I think this is the first time someone has posted that hood on and painted. It looks just a bit taller than I expected. I would put a mesh grille insert in the front.

 

I thought about cutting it and puting a mesh grill in or buying a grill from a mustang or a ss 4th gen to put in.I'll probably put in a mesh grill because the scoop is a little taller then normal.I think I'll put in mesh in the cowl too.

 

I love it, i want to ask you some questions too

Where did you get the hood from and how much?

What color is your car, the body and rocker pannels?

 

are you gonna make it functional in the front?

 

ive been meaning to get that hood soon but i dunno. i love how it looks on maros the ones for birds are a little taller which i dont really like but maybe it can work. really nice car though looks beautiful. could you possibly get a side shot of the hood that would really help me out.

 

I got it from hawks it was 399 plus 15 $ and 94 for shipping.My car is flame red and the gfx are a silver from a 4th gen camaro,don't know what code.I am not going to make it funtional but I am going to put in a grill.

 

I like it!... for some reason I kept looking at it and thinking something is missing and I think a Chrome grill for the hood in either round or honeycomb holes would look sweet and then I also think that sence you have an SS style hood and a late 90's Z spoiler that the 91-92 side GFX with the scoops from a Z would look killer on that car!

 

Im a camaro guy but that is such a good looking f-body. The color is the best and the hood goes perfect with the car. Good Job. Would you mind telling me what color that is. please

 

I've been waiting for a bird dude to toss one of those hoods on...I think it actually looks pretty good. As for the front....I made a grill out of billet aluminum.....here is a picture of my grill...

PM me and I can tell you how I made it....

 

another

The grill actually went to a late models Mustang. I bought it off of ebay for like $30 bucks...and I had to cut alot of material off for it to fit in the SS hood...I think it's a big improvement over the stock, black, plastic, grill that it came with..

 

I think the hood is nice overall... one of those things that'll probably grow on you. Those billet inserts are nice 2

 

84customz28,I've printed pictures of your car to use as a guide on the grill.I found one on ebay but I was wondering how it would turn out being the front of the scoop on mine is taller then yours.I think it might be to narrow for my opening.I think I'm going to order it and do it anyway,any suggestions?The paint is flame red.

 

could we see a pic of the underside of the hood like where the scoop is. i think i have an idea to make it functional.

 

I noticed that the front of your SS hood isn't cut out....that will have to be cut out in order to have a grill installed. Mine was already cut out...so I had no problems mounting it. I see what your saying though....your SS scoop is much wider than the Camaro SS hood version....so that could be a problem. You could always use "expanded aluminum" to get a really cool effect in your grill area too....just an idea..

 

That looks completally awsome :hail:

 

Why dont they make a superduty version of the SS for our Camaros!!! I want one so bad, i'm gonna get stuck getting a cowl hood because the regular SS hood is too low, if they made the superduty one it'd be perfect!!!!! Who do i talk to on this?! I'm gonna get that hood made for my IROC!

 

Billet aluminum, black car.

Niiicccceeee!

:hail:

 

Get ahold of hawks,they may make one for camaros but I'm not sure.I got some better pics.I'll post them tomarrow.

 

I do need to figure something out,grill wise .It looks too plain right now.I just want to make the front cosmetic and maybe put a mesh grill in the cowl to help disipate some heat.I also thought of puting gauges in it.I'm dropping in an intercooled supercharged 350 this winterso I don't know how to make that functional,plus I don't want water getting in.

 

I put in a request to Hawks for it the night of my rant on here LOL, so we'll see what happens i'm waiting for a reply from them still.. Keep your fingers crossed! I just love the OutLaw look the hood has, and my IROC is all OutLaw!

 

Here are a couple of new pics.

 

 

Hey 87TPI,

Where does the SS grill line up as far the TPI setup goes? Would it be "ram air" with one of those short filters that stick right on the front of the throttle body or is it farther back?

 

It would be perfect for a speed density tpi.The scoop is right in front of the throttle body.With a stealth ram I think it sits even higher so that would be best.

 

that hood is f***ing awesome! Ide do what 85f-bird said cut hole in front put in mesh and put neons inside... awesome stuff right there... keep engine cooler too...

thats just our

 

I have an ss grill on it's way.I am puting mesh in the cowl though.I thought about puting neons inside but figured it would look too cheesy and *****.I just want a nice clean,strong look.

 

looks really good, love the silver

 

underlights and neons look good together
still looks P.I.M.P.

 

heres what i did with my ss hood.. i think it was definatly a good idea to do it.. i get so much flow in and out of the hood, my engine stays really cool doing so.. and my aircleaner loves all the air attention now that i went from fi to carb.. durability is fine to, no flexing at all.

 

I thought about that too but didn't know if it would weakin it.I think I'm going to put some mesh in it.Your way is still an option though.

 

just leave like 3/4" around the edge to let it have some corner support and it doesnt take anything away.. still wont flex.

 

had some extra paint laying around and i vadalized yer car.. here ya go also had some bondo and i molded the top of your headlights to the hood making it a 1 piece.. got out the hacksaw and cut off the intena too

 

...orange

 

I got a reply back from hawks.. They said there are no plans to make these Super Duty hoods for 3rd gen Camaros Now thats GAY!!

 

I kinda like the orange.Maybe I'll do a color change this winter.I want cinnaman pearl or sunset orange metallic.

 

I never liked that hood. I like being proved wrong that it can look good. I can honestly say on a 85-90 TA i like the way it looks.

 

That hood looks f'n sweet...this is the first I have seen of it on a car and painted. I am considering getting it but was not really sure about the decision until I saw it on your car. :hail:

Were there any fitment issues?

 

I don't know if it is for all of them but I had to drill out a little more on the hood mount that's on the car if that makes since.It wouldn't go far enough forward until I did.It only took a couple of minutes.

 

You guys already have the SS Hood
