attn gt auto.

i've always thought the ram air 2 hood was a little too drastic for thirdgen's because its nostrils are very rounded, where a thirdgen is very squared with hard edges. I photoshopped up a slight modification to sonar un's hood that i feel better fits the character of a thirdgen.

I'd love to see this hood produced, and it would only require a very minor mod from your current ram air hood.

any possibility of doing something like this?

I hope they do, I'm in the market for a ram air hood, and I like it much better. Just my o2 though. Some guys will never like a ram ll on a camaro.

Wow. That looks very good. I've always thought that the hood didn't belong on that car, but with that sutle change it makes a world of difference. 100% better.

Yeah, that does look a lot better, but I still don't think the hood looks right. Too curvey for the boxey Camaro. But thats my opinion. Personally, I'd like a narrower verison of the SS hood produced. I'd buy one for sure.
