Harwood makes a Stock RS type fiberglass pin on hood. You can bolt your Z28 scoops to that.

well, actually, thats not my camaro, its a picture of one i dream of having. And another thing, i dont even have a camaro . Ive been looking for a 3rd gen (88-92 only) for about 4 months and have only seen one that was good (1987), but didnt have t-tops and had the check engine light on. Damn im picky . Im hoping more will be for sale as the weather gets warmer and gas prices rise , ebay isnt an option...they are insanly overpriced.

Well about the hood, how much does it weigh?


thanks

Some 82-84 z28's came stock with fiberglass hoods. So you may want to check some junkyards.

There getting hard to find though.

Anybody know how much these hoods weigh, including the aftermarket ones?

seems like the only flaw with the camaro is the extreme weight, does anybody know what i can do to reduce weight besides the back seat and stripping the interior?
