Default Harwood 3" cowl on a Z

Hate to pic *****, but found these on another forum, and I know a lot of ppl have been wanting to see installed pics of the 3" Harwood cowl hood, myself included. Car belongs to The35thZ on LS1.com. Gotta give credit where its due.

Dont think so. I think the 3" is all that they have. VFN has the 5" Mike Moran hood, but thats HUGE. Other's have a 4" cowl, but it doesnt follow the lines nearly as well, IMO.

Dont know of any sponsers who "stock" the hood, but I'll shoot you a PM w/ the address (just dont wanna push a non-sponser product on the main board, unless a mod doesnt have a problem w/ it)

That hood looks hot!!

That's what I'd take if I had a Camaro. Way sexier than the SS hood.

I like how smooth the transition is. Flows nicely with the car. I wish someone would do a modified WS6 hood like that for the T/As

It's a little wide for my tastes, but better than any other cowl hood I've seen for F-bodies.

Maybe talking with Harwood or VFN or another one of the sponsers who does bodywork could make that hood a reality if you find enough people willing to justify them taking the time and $$$ to develop the hood.

Does anybody know how much this hood weighs and what it is made out of.

Looks good. Personally, I would like the appearance better if your car were lowered a little.

Also, you might want to consider weed-n-feed in your yard...

I have mixed feelings about that hood. It does look nice, but I think the cowl is a bit wide. Guess I am just fond of the square look. It appears to fit very well though.

Dang, just noticed how square your hood is. Very old school...but cool nonetheless.
