Hey that's the hood I'm buying myself for Christmas. It's a WS6 style hood for the Camaro. I am buying mine from http://www.usbody.com That's where I'm buyin my hood from. I can't wait to get it on my car and the ground effects so I can put some kick a$$ pics on here of it.

I am not the one that will openly dog someone for putting something on there car just because I don't personally like it, but putting a WS6 look a like hood on a Camaro is about the same as putting a Camaro SS hood on a Firebird. It may look ok, but it is really out of place in my opinion.

Something just ain't right about it.

Of course, I have Camaro SS wheels (minus the Chevy center caps) on my Trans-Am, so I guess I can't complain too much.

The Camaro SS is such a nice looking car, I really think installing an SS hood on a regular Z-28 is a much much better idea.

Again, just my view of things.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I disagree with Kimchee and Rice. I think that hood looks pretty <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> . The problem is that it's non-functional.

K&R, you took the words out of my mouth. I'm wondering if Justin or someone could photo shop a SS hood on a TA just for kicks. I'd be curious to see how that would look.

Hey, if the honda's and toyota's can put a Camaro SS hood on their cars, at least another fbody should be alowed to.

There are actually two civics at my work with SS hoods. Makes me sick everytime I see em, and I own a TA.

K&R is probably right about this hood possibly being out of place on a camaro simply because it's so recognized on the WS6.

I have seen the pics and you have to admit the Camaro Pulls it off! Looks wise I mean.. It's hard to deny it makes the camaro look pretty bad@SS!.

I give credit to those wanting to do something different though.. Everybody and their brother these days is either driving a real SS or a Z28 with an SS Hood! Ugghh!..

Well....actually this hood can be made functional....it's kinda costly but it might be worth it. I dunno. The only think about the WS6 is the hood...that's why I wanna put this particular hood on my Z. I like it and doing what you like is part of customizing. I will try to get pictures of mine. I'll be getting the hood anywhere from 1 to 1 1/2 weeks. peace out. Justin <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />
