Default Harwood 2.5in cowl hood

I have been looking for one all over the internet and can not seem to find one used, so basically I am wondering where you guys ordered yours from and how much did you pay? I'm looking to pick one up here asap.

Summit would be your easiest option.

Go thru Summit or Jegs. You can order directly from Harwood, but they are considerably higher that way. All orders you place with Summit or Jegs for Harwood products are actually shipped out from the Harwood facility. I know this because I used to work there and know how they work. Be carefull though, the quality is hit and miss, and be prepared to do alot of trimming and adjusting to make it fit right. They are no where near a perfect product, so plan on spending some money to make it look right.

Thanks for the response guys! I actually saw that summit has them cheapest... Fitting and prep shouldn't be an issue for me because I work at a dealership and the guys in the body shop are always willing to help out. I'm actually only paying $400 for a complete paint job here soon. Thats with me taking most of the panels off of the car and some prep on the parts that are not too bad off


If anyone knows where one is for cheap let me know!!

I just bought one brand new on friday for $75. It was probably the best deal of my life.

Heres the reason I got it so cheap.



but its an awesome hood and fit perfect on the first try bolting it on.
but in this pic its not bolted I just set it on to get pics taken

also has anyone tried fitting a lid under these hoods w/o chopping anything up?

me and my buddy think its going to be a close call, but when the radiator and motor is out its hard to tell where everything is going to line up.

If you get one, get the one w/o the line down the middle of the hood. I'm not a huge Camaro fan to begin with but I think that line is ugly as sin on the 4th gens. It's basically a generic cowl stuffed on a camaro hood, way old school looking. The smooth ones look so much nicer.
