Since I finally got some good pics of the car I figured I would post some of them. I still have to resize some so this is a test to see how they look on the site.[IMG][/IMG]

Motor shot... Tell me what you guys think

nice car is that a real production hood or did you try to copy the japanese hood?

 

It's a copy of the L88 big block hoods on some of the C3 Corvettes. (Chevy figured it out a long while before the Japs did)




It looks pretty damn good. Any plans on selling some?

 

The hood is actually made by VFN fiberglass out of Addison, IL. The hood was $408 when I got it a year ago... Still haven't got around to painting it.

 

Different, I am not sure if I like it or not!

 

I like it looks great

 

Wow that looks great! Get some paint on it and it will look fantastic!

 

damn that hood is slick as hell, good job, would be really intrested in havin one of those

 

my buddy wants that hood for his car. I never could find a good picture of it though to see what it looked like on a camaro. Have any more pictures?

 

Wow! that looks awesome.
I love the blue and the rims, and be sure to post more pics when the hood gets painted.

 

I lke that look. Those rim do look nice.

 

im in the process of fabricating an L88 hood right now, got it glued on with "LORD FUSOR" today gonna mould it on tomarrow, heres some pics

 

scoop being baked on!

 

wow, it's cool...but big...

 

Yeah it is a little big but it gets the job done... I'll see if I can resize some more pictures to post..Thanks for the good words

 

That is sweet!! I should have got one of them for my car!! Nadcamaro what kind of wheels do you have on it??

 

i'm gonna reserve judgement until i see it with paint. imho, right now the hood looks almost too big for the car. i'll probably drool when i see it with paint, but i def think a 5" spoiler would help even out the car.

 

I like it. What rims are you running?

 

They are ROH Snypers. That is if you are refering to the first pics in this thread.

Heres a link:

ROH Snypers

This is just a site I found them on. $209 a wheel for 17 X 8. Probably going to get me a set. They are sexy.

DH

 

The rims are 16x8 ROH's. Right now I'm in college so I don't get to work on the car, but this summer the hood should be painted and the Hawks 5" spoiler has already been on the list of things to do. Next I need a set of Welds so I can put some ET Street Radials on for the track.

 

more pics as promised... [IMG][/IMG]

too big for my taste but it could look really good painted tho! so keep at it.

 

looks good! too much for me though, but i like it!

paint that sucker.

 

i love the side shot, it looks very aggresive. could somebody photochop that hood onto a 89 gta, if anybody can i would love a front and side view, thanks

 

Just think of what it is going to look like after paint!! I still like this hood more than the ram air one I have on my car!! Good job on seletion!!! You got something that most of us do not have yet!!!
Anyone want to buy a ram air hood??? I want on of these!!

 

anybody? I would really apprecitate it if somebody could photochop the L-88 hood onto a 89gta for me.

Thanks: Rusty

 

sweet , i like it .

 

its really different, but it should look nice

 

the hood looks awesome. Where about did you come across with that l88 hood? how much was that hood?

 

Awesome. Found the hood I am buying when my motor is done!!!!!!!!!!!

 

love the hood and the snypers, im getting some as soon as I get some money

 

If I knew how to I would, or if I had to program for that matter. You can possibly try the photoshop board if its still here(haven't checked) and put a link to this thread for pictures.

For others I bought this hood from VFN Fiberglass and it was $408 without shipping. I believe I was one of the first buyers for the hood becuase they couldn't even show me a picture of the hood. So I bought it without knowing how it would look. Most people either hate it or love it. Hopefully this summer I can prep it for paint and finally get it painted. It took some work for it to fit like it does and still needs some more to be perfect. But being at college 5 hours from home and the car its hard to get work done on it. Money is also tight. I'm sure most can relate to the money and time part. Thanks everybody.

 

wow nice engine shot

those wheels look great too

 

might i suggest when u do paint maybe put the ring stripe on your car silver,black, or white, i think it would awesome but that is just my opinion.

this hood is a little different than yours cause it baldwin motion gt

 

I had thought about doing something like that on the hood just so it wasn't all one solid color. Stuff like that does make it look a lot better.. I just dont know what color I would go with.

 

Just wondering if you ever got it painted. That is the hood im wanting to go with, but I am having trouble photoshopping the picture that you have now.

Another question, did you have any fitament issues?

Thanks

 

They're a beautiful hood on a 3rd gen. It was a choice between that, a Big Block 'Stinger' hood, or the Twin Turbo hood....I opted with the TT hood as it wasnt as...'big' but it was a hard choice. Beautiful hood man, get some paint on that thing

 

cough cough race car.

 

i like it alot, its different than the norm. i LOVE those wheels on third gen camaros. put a hawks 5in on that thing and get the hood painted quck!

 

i like the hood on the camaro!, its freakin sweet. just get it painted and post some pics

 

did you need that big of a hood scoop to clear your air filter?? is it a functioning scoop ?? did you run into a/f clearance problems with the previous hood ????

 

I didn't need this big of a hood to clear, but yeah my stock hood wouldn't clear anymore. As for being fuctional it's open in the back and I want to make a carb tray the seals to the hood whenever I get time.


As for painting the hood, will be spring/summer 07 till I get it done. The hood did have some fitment issues and will need some work done to it but most hoods do anyways.

 

leave it black

 

That hood looks awesome!! I have the L88 on my 78' Z I think it is the best looking hood ever. Paint it gloss black, do not leave it flat. But If I were you I would paint it blue and put white or silver stripes on it.

 

Yeah I would like to have it match the car and have some silver on it...

 

sweet motor, by the way love the color also

 

that's a lot of rubber hose, ditch all that and go braided, you don't need an engine fire with that fuel line

 

i think the hood looks cool. but not my personal choice. i like the factory iroc z28 hoods and cowl hoods. motor is very nice. the blue is my favorite color. do agree with xpndbl3 if you replace the rubber it will add nice detail to the engine bay. also i think a set of red wires would look nice as well. good job so far.

 

Yeah I know about the rubber hose Steve, it's been on my to do list for a while but I just haven't found time latley with school.
