ss performance

Has anyone reversed hinged the hood on a Camaro? I would like to hinge the hood like a Vette.

I am wondering how difficult it would be.

Thanks

Why??

asking "why" when it comes to appearance mods is probably the most pointless question ever.

people do appearance mods to get their car looking the way they want. its a matter of personal preference...

so it could simply be assumed that he likes the way reverse tilt hoods look, so he's considering it.

Why because it's cool and the Corvette does it, most of our car's use a few Corvette part's why not show off the heritage. Hell there's even people around with the Vette cross flag's on their Camaro's. Oh and I don't know who has done it but I know who sell's the kit.

about the only thing i liked on the car was the rims and hood

taking a second look the rims are a little much

i agree, the rims are a bit much, for me. but i can appreciate different looks, and i like to see unique looking rides. Not a fan of cookie-cutter designed cars, that just follow the norm.

If done right I think it would look great

That would def show off the hood better at car shows, although I bet its hard to work on. It doesnt look like it opens as wide as the vette.

I asked why because after looking at my buddies 00 camaro it looks to me like you would have cut a bunch of the front end to get the hinges mounted to anything soild and I guess it's "My personal preference" not to cut up a car for something like that I'm not putting him down for being unique it's his car and I think it would be cool too,,Different
So before you tell me my question is pointless understand where I'm coming from

And I to had a "personal preference" to stand out and break up the look of my car "appearnce mods" I wasn't sure if I liked them so I asked advice from forum members and I got the answer that I was leaning towards and so the gs stripes are gone


Sorry OP I'm done hijacking your thread
Good luck I hope it turns out good whatever you decide but please post pics when you are done

gotcha man, just a misunderstanding.

for the future though, it'd be easier to just explain yourself the first time instead of leaving a comment as simple as "why"

As for looks it is def different and I am sure it can be done. As for working on the car its going to be a PAIN.

If your in a situation where you need to remove the motor, your def pulling the hood but lit all depends if you care about that stuff.

I have a feeling it will work like the hoods that I had on my old 1988 Buick LeSabre, it was a clam shell that popped up, then pulled foward and tilting at the same time. In order to get proper clearence for the beak and the bumper.

Does anyone else like the look of this paint job???


I'm not crazy about most of the car, but I kind of like the look of the blue and black.

is it what i would do with my car? no, not necessarily. but i still dig his work.

The blue and the black, seperated by the white/silver line reminds me of a new corvette zr1 for some reason.
