Only hood that I like on 4th gens, looks awesome!

I would get the mirrors painted red too though, I never got why GM had them black...looks very out of place

I think its all about the cars setup! A stock looking car with this hood wont look right. If you dosnt have some drag wheels or some fatties on rear it wont look right!

What hood struts did you end up going with? I didn't know that, but I had thought about it before. I'm still up on the air about getting this hood or another one for my 93.

I don't think you need drag wheels to make this hood look good. I hate how some people think you can only have a nice hood if you have a drag car. This hood looks great on ANY Camaro, regardless of the wheels.

Anyhow, the hood looks great. Paint that bitch up!

I beg to differ. I saw this hood one two other Camaro's. The one looked alright, and the other just didn't look right at all. I think with a set of big and littles the hood blends great though.

yeah the 2 other cars i saw i didnt like it! one had some Y2k bet wheel and didnt look good at all the other the car looked great but with his zr1 wheel it didnt look right. I cant wait to see the car with zr1 wheel when he puts his drag wheels on it that he has! I was 2nd guessing the hood from there pics but man it fits in on my car
