my question is why? I'm not hating, just wondering. where did the scoop come from?

99dsgz28

Cost wise is hard to say since I did all the labor myself and work at a body shop. The scoop itself was about 90 bucks shipped I believe from racing composites. A lot more time over money in this hood. The reason I did it is because im not a fan of fiberglass. I have fiberglass hood on my other camaro which was an expensive POS, so I figured this way I already have a hood I know fits great and don't have to buy a 500 plus dollar hood and try making it fit/look good.

Common and cost effective if you know what you're doing.

Did you glue the scoop or fiberglass it?

I have to agree with the idea of not buying an aftermarket hood that won't fit right out of the box, will sink settle and distort, and never be the same quality as an oem. He'll I've got well over 70 hours in mine and it needs more for me to be actually happy with it.

for 500 I would pick up an OEM hood and be done. work is nice and I like it.

used 3m panel glue to bond it, lots of filler and lots of patience

As a painter and body man I know what goes into doing this type job.

Did you use rivets or structural adhesive/some type of panel bonder? I'm sure there was plenty of sanding not jealous at all
Looks like a nice job done.

I used 3m panel bond and some temporary screws to hold it in place while it set. Im a body man as well, and yeah there was a TON of sanding involed. Just painted it today and turned out great so im pretty happy with it.
