Default Harwood 2.5" Cowl

I Was Thinking About Replacing My SS Hood With A Harwood 2.5" Cowl, But Was Wondering If Anyone On Here Has This Hood So I Can Get A Idea Of What It Will Look Like On My Car Before I Drop A Bunch Of Cash On One

Thanks
-Dan

the original hood Harwood took the design from: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/224386 -Whistler's old car

theres a maroon camaro on cardomain with the actual Harwood. let me see if i can find it.

my opinion is go with a 4. or 3.
bigger and meaner looking.. and usually around the same price.

there aren't too many cowl options for camaros though.
-2.5" harwood
-3" sunoco or SS

anything bigger looks out of place on a street driven camaro...

If I remember correctly, the Harwood hood is kinda square looking like it belongs on an 80's Malibu. I have a Sunoco hood that isn't even painted yet and I LOVE it!! I was debating on getting this hood and a true SS hood. Either would have been nice but the ultimate decision was Sunoco since SS hoods were stock.

If your buddy is getting a Sunoco hood too, remember there is one with and without a center stripe.

Who cares what your buddy has. If you like the Sunoco get it.

PS. My sunoco is raised to 6", widened, and extended to the windshield, and I don't think it's too big on my "street driven" Camaro.

yeah i like the Harwood too. it has a nice, subtle look, while looking more aggressive than the stock hood.

i agree. if you like it, get it. you wont be dissapointed, even if your friend has it. are your cars the same color too? if so, just dont do the same thing with all of the other things, like rims. and maybe one of you can get the stripe up the center, or maybe one of you can add the stripes to the side of the cowl. just because you have the same hood doesn't mean the cars will look just like each other.

no such thing as too big... it just looks like you're diving a drag car on the street. which i personally don't find too appealing. same with tires, some people drive around town with the fats out back and skinnies up front, i chose to use regular rims/tires. its all a matter of personal preference though.

if we all had the same opinion it would be a very boring world, so were gonna have to agree to disagree on this one

There are some pictures of it in this thread, you will just have to scroll down a little cause the first couple of pics are of whistler's hood.

If you like the Sunoco, just go with that!

If it were an LT1, it might be a different story!

i ordered a 4" hood for my cobra but i measured it today it its like 5 1/2 on the side walls.


i think my cowl on my 93 z28 is a 4 inch. its not really that big. i have to find pics of it though. its by glasstek. it was like 600 shipped. the one for my cobra was only 400. the 3" for my 87gt was only a 100 shipped. then paid like a 100 for my 3" on my 97gt.

i wish i could get into making fiberglass hoods and ground fx...
