Default New hood new pics

Sig pic of course hasn't been updated yet, but I'll get to that. After a good while with the infamous Ram Air II hood, I decided it was time for a change. Picked up an OEM SS hood and after paint, went ahead and slapped it on yesterday. It still needs to be adjusted in the front, as everyone on here will chime in with, I'm sure. But for now, just wanted to share a couple pics.

Thanks guys. I know some people will flame me for the kit, but for now, I like the way it stands out. Once I have the money to paint the car and areas underneath, which will be needed if taken off, I'll take it off. Street, I'll text ya on who painted it.

The Manta stripe looks really good, how much did it cost you to get it painted?

Had to get the whole hood painted, as it was pewter when I bought it. Got a guy down here that did it for 200 bucks.

Knew I'd get a negative comment within an hour....Thanks for the compliment on the hood, at least. The kit is pretty similar to the RS kit, which alot of people seem to have no problem with....I'm sorry the car doesn't look like every other Camaro with ZR1's. Anyway, all comments, whether good, or....Questionable, are appreciated.

Hood looks TIGHT!!!! OEM SS hood is in my budget for this year. Just have to find someone that wants to part with theirs.

Nevermind the kit haters, like you said we could have a car that looks like all of the others.

You can come back out to Kohls now.

Looks awesome Chris.

PS - There was a guy out there looking for you in a Trailblazer last night, just a regular one. Said he used to have a black LT-1 car? Said he knew me too (but I don't remember).
