Default Any ACTUAL custom hoods?
was wondering if anyone had a custom hood that they made, like a special style scoop or somthing that the market dosnt sell. an actual custom hood, one offs. post pics if you got them or idea's that you have.

I know that i want the hood that i have right now (stock Z28 hood) to me more "bubbled" anyone seen the C5's with that hood that looks like it's flexing it's muscles? i'm wantin to do somthing like that where the lines that follow the head lights are more defind. Opinions on it?

That Viper steal z28 is the sexiest camaro i've seen. I was never really a big fan of the stock frontclip. That just makes it wonderful. I will only get a camaro if it has that front end. sigh

Thats badass I had been thinking about doing it but figured it would be VERY difficult to make it look good, I also like how you molded the front plate cover into the bumper

Love how you shaved the handles and antenna. Really cleans up the car as well as molding the front cover into the bumper. Looks Awesome
