Default What do you think of this hood?

What are your opinions? I like it and might get one. I think the openings flow good with the headlights.

I'm not a hood scoop kinda guy, but it definitely doesn't suck. +1 about the symmetry with the headlights.

Does it have an opening at the cowl? Strikes me that would be better than openings at the front, rain-wise...

Hmmm. A Camaro with nostrils.
Of course, I don't care for the nostrils on the last Firebirds (especially the dual nostrils of the WS-6 models). (Please, no flames, just MHO.)
But hey, whatever floats your boat. It's your ride, do what pleases you.

Never ever ever put the Firebird Ram Air hood on another car lol For two reasons, makes you look like you are a ricer, and someone who doesn't know anything about cars because it's a Pontiac hood. That's why I won't put Camaro rims on my Firebird, even if I like them. I'm even hesitant for Vette ones.

I am not gonna give an opinion on if the hood looks good.
More importantly, look at the fitment. There is a huge gap along the passenger side. I would never get a hood that fit like that.

Not my taste. Looks stuck on like the newer GTO scoops.

I dont really think it flows with the rest of the body, but it is your car so you should do what YOU want.

I dont like it. Looks out of place to me. Ultra Z, VFN sunoco, and regular cowl hoods look much better on the camaros than this one (IMO).

I own a trans am with a ram air hood. and that being said, it should probably stay on a firebird/trans am. but just my 2cents.

I don't like it and wouldn't put it on my car, but to each his own...if you like it, then go for it!
