I picked up there 93-97 2.5 cowl hood. It still needs to be adjusted a little bit but other than that, it has a good fit and a bad *** look! To me its the best LT1 Camaro hood out there but, my .02
All the guys over at Harwood were very nice and professional. Plus with them only being an hour away made it very convenient!

Not sure really. I wasn't really a big fan of this hood either until I saw it in person. Funny how **** like that happens.

Thanks man! I'm actually going to paint the car Hugger Orange and gloss black. I'm either gonna paint the sides of the cowl black or paint the entire cowl black. Not sure on that yet.

I'm pretty sure Whistler was the one that designed the hood before it was available. He has the Viper Steel Grey Camaro w/original whistlers, that style hood, and CCW's.

DAMMNNN just when I had decided to repaint my ol big block hood you throw this up... One ??? is the back side of the hood, the actual Cowl opening open to the inside looking at the one pic of it raised it seems like maybe its actually sealed on the inside so that when it closes the weather seal is still functional at keeping air inside the engine compartment? or are you looking at the motor through the windshield like I am?

Ebay king? Didn't I have to give you a lecture to stop you from buying some ebay hood, and point out that Harwood is 45 minutes from where we live?
