Welcome. Nice car, I think it needs some nice wheels to go with that hood.

Thanks for the compliments people. The hood is from Glasstek. I bought this car off the lot like this a couple months ago and I don't know of any real mods and have done nothing to it myself yet. Just SLP Loudmouth cat-back and a K&N filter

New grill minus the bugs and some rims would do nicely. Nice color.

nice seeing a camaro with tan interior. that hood would be ok if you needed it for clearance, ditch it for a stock or ss hood, it'll look nice

Ditch the hood and exhaust in favor of an SS hood, wing, ZR1's, and dual dual exhaust. It would look SOOOOOOOOOO good in that color!

Keep the hood. It's unique, and you will end up hating yourself for getting another hood and dumping money into it just to match the color. Just get some nice rims to compliment it and you'll be good to go.

The color is great! I don't like to trash people's rides... but have to agree with the other guys on the hood.... If it's got an engine that matches the Brevity of that hood then BRING IT ON! If its an LS1 with an air cleaner lid and some new spark plugs... well..

I would say... keep the hood and grow the power to fit...

Nice ride...

agree on the wing, but no stock type wheel is going to look right with that hood, and zr1 on ls1 4th gens are gross anyway imo (if he puts on a SS hood and zr1s it will look like about 40% of the other camaros on the road... the other 60% comprised mostly of z06 or stock wheels)

just my $.02

Thanks for all the opinions, but the hood stays. One day I may need the clearance, besides, I like it.
