Default New Sunoco Hood - Pictures

Just installed my Sunoco hood over the weekend. Fit pretty good without drilling out the hinges but will probably do that later to get a perfect fit. Here are some pictures, sorry, car is pretty dirty.

Planning on getting the hood painted in December since I have 2 weeks off for Christmas/New Years.

I think it balances out the car very well, it is does look a bit taller in person. The cowl is 3" and I already have trouble see curbs and stuff when parking on the street/in my garage and I'm 6'3''.
Next plan is to get the hood painted, car detailed, and 2 very small dings taken out of my passenger side quarter panel.

Weird...I don't have any trouble seeing over my Sunoco, and its a Extended 5" one.



On a side note, your car does look badass with the your new hood!

I don't necessarily have trouble seeing over the hood, that is definitely not a problem, just noticed that when I pull into my garage I have a harder time telling how close I am too my work bench and when parking on the street after installing the hood I can't really see the curb right in front of my car. Maybe being tall is a disadvantage because I have the seat all the way back and it is reclined a bit.

Thanks for all the comments! Will definitely try to post pictures when the car is clean, I hate having dirty rims and its suppose to rain this weekend.

I wish I could have bought one when VFN had a GP. Maybe next time.

Looks good. I hope not too many more people from the Bay Area get this lol

you should have purchased one, me and another guy had our hoods shipped together and saved about $85. I have personally never seen one in person (other than my car)

The sunoco hood looks so much better on an LSX than LTX camaros.

Same here, thats the way to do it if you have a friend who wants one too. They shipped mine and Triggers WS6 hood together. It was like christmas.
