I wasn't going to get it in the first place. I was just curious what the consensus is since I haven't seen any on here. I'm saving for a 4 inch cowl.

There are two LT1s around here with that hood (one black and one teal), and even though I'm not a fan of the hood I think it looks good on those cars... if that makes any sense LOL

You do know you can get banned for saying this right? I don't suggest you continue on with peddling non-sponsor sites behind PM's.

I'm not peddling, but if someone wants something a sponsor doesn't offer why not tell someone it exists. You could just as easily do a google search for it. If a sponsor carried it I would have pointed to them first, but no sponsor does.

Looks like **** on anything except a C2 corvette. And BTW, just to clarify, shoulda called it a "Sting Ray" (two words) since the 63-67 vettes were named that and the only year it ever came on from the factory was a 67 big block corvette. The 69-76 corvettes were "Stingray" (one word)

I put it as 2 words since that's how VFN named it.

Simply doesn't go with the body lines. It would go well with almost any other generation/style camaro, but the 98-02 body lines are just too curvy.
