Hood looks great but get rid of the chrome vents on the cowl. Just my opinion.

Agreed, chrome trim doesn't go too well with 3rd gen's...GM had gone to blacked-out trim on all upper level F-Bodies by the late 70s. That being said, it would probably look fine painted black.

I thought the vents added some more look to it like the California Cowl Hood. A one of a kind hood. No prob seeing over the hood. Like the looks of it. Cheers Bro...

Re: What do you think of this Hood?
I'll agree with that. Frankly though, I don't like any hood that's not stock. But yeah, I still don't understand putting 4th gen style parts on 3rd gen cars just to have 4th gen style parts. In this case, the hood doesn't look right at all on this car.
I'm guessing the OP loves it though, so I thought I'd just offer some constructive criticism on tweaking it since I seriously doubt we're going to convince this guy that he's just wasted $800+. To each his own.
