My futuristic black beast tell me your thoughts... Here is my 2000 Z28 Chevy Camaro I bought it 2.5 months ago COMPLETLY STOCK black exterior and ebony leather interior fully loaded and yes it has the LS1 (of course its a Z28) with only 72k miles on her.... Well here are some of the upgrades; Duraflex spyder 3 hood (not painted), eagle eyes head lights, black front bumper lights with switchback LEDs, rear black side marker lights, SS rear spoiler(not painted)/vht night shades on the high mount third brake light, black LED tail lights with black GTO style tail light covers and LED reverse lights, all the lights inside and out have been converted to LED and the head lights (high and low beams) have been converted to HIDs. The staggerd all black 20 inch deep dish rims have been ordered and are on the way.... Next steps will be to shave the antenna and Camaro letters on the back panel between the tail lights then tint the windows all the way around and finally finnish her off with a Flat black paint job!! ALSO MANY BOLT ON ENGINE MODS ; ) THANKS FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE RATE MY CAMARO!! Any feedback on what you think of my recent upgrades or the direction I am heading with this futuristic black beast will be appreciated!!!

Here are the wheels GIANELLE CANCUN 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear on 35s in the front and 40s in the rear. and I wanted to be diffrent with the hood not like EVERYONE else lol there arent many original designs these days when it comes to custom Camaros and I think it still looks mean and yet classy!

I'll be the first to say i dig the hood. Its different and not too over the top.
I think its 1000x better than that 3" HUGE ss hood people are sporting.
I think that thing is hideous, to each his own.

Thanks everyone for all the input and keep it coming! Yea I had the 20's on my last Z and as you can see in my later reply, it really doesnt look bad at all in my opinion it looks great to me actually and I have had several people wanting to do the same to their Camaros after seeing mine and truth be told there really isn't much diffrence in apperance from 19s to 20's generally speaking if you didnt look at the tire you might get confused cuz the diffrence is so slight in comparison but I appreciate the opinions! and Yes the hood is lower profile than the huge 3 inch ss hood by VFN however if you really look at the spyder 3 hood it closely resembles a modified SS hood Im pretty sure that is where they got the idea from but anyhoo thanks for all the feedback keep it coming!!

I don't mind the hood at all! I'm sick and tired of seeing sunoco hoods on every camaro. Props to you for trying something different and original!
Love the all-black with led/hid's all around. Good luck with the car man!

whole heartedly agree, if you could somehow smooth out those ridges next to the scoop id say thats my fav camaro hood as itd be just super aggressive but not over the top. I agree that 20s are large, 18s or 19s are plenty on our cars.

Love the color you are going for. 2 things, I would go to 18 or 19inch wheels and the hook is good except for those fins on each side. Other than that car should look sick!!!
