Default Who's got a Glasstek Cowl Hood??

Would like to see what the Glasstek Cowl looks like on the LTx Camaros before I fork out the cash and buy one..It's a little bigger than I wanted originally but I can get one and just pay the shipping on it, and it would help with some engine clearance over the winter for the new powerplant...Post em up if you got em..or link em up plz

Here you go, 4" Glasstek



This one is hard to tell. Camera is sitting on the dash, but you get the idea.

Thanks Bowtie..Looks like I'm just going to have to learn to deal with the fairly decent rise on the cowl..

It might be! I got it used for $250 form a kid who said it was on his 12 second Z. The car with the hood on it in the pictures he showed me was a 3.4L V-6. He didn't know what brand it was. Looking at some other hoods I can't tell! I see the difference at the back of the cowl but that's all. Anyway the price was right!

To to OP, I don't have any issues with visability.

If you put a cowl on a 4th gen Camaro, get a smooth cowl, not the 1970s one with the 'spine' :\

My dad had one on his LT1 car. The fit was pretty damn good. His used the factory latches and hinges. It was a 6". Even being that high, it was easy to see over.
