The guy's name is Roger. He's real good, makes the molds and hoods himself. I was going to order a ZL1 hood that he just made. I've got a pic, but I don't know how to post it. Best thing, imo, all of his hoods are fully functional, uses stock hinges, and are lightweight

Yeah, I think you're the only one that hasn't seen this hood

Some people like it, some don't. I used to, but these days it
doesn't seem to flow with the lines enough for me.

Too much going on with that car. He's confused. Is it a race car or show car. Make it fast then weigh it down? Maybee it's me but the whole car doesn't seem to match. It just doesn't flow imo.

I agree. I've been up to his shop. Nice guy and quality of the hoods are outstanding.

They also have the same hood for a little less and the pictures of customer's cars make me a fan of the hood. They call it the ram air II. Some cars, esp without ground effects look like crap though IMO.

that carhoods sight is ANNOYING
i hate sites with popups that dont go away

anyways, their quality looks pretty good
but their prices are wack to me
I couldnt justify spending nearly $600 for their cowl hood, that weighs almost as much as the stock hood

I like the look of the hood but absolutely hate the car...biggest and most cluttered example of domestic rice I have seen to date...besides a C5 with a double decker wing, gold accents, DIY painted interior panels, gold painted roll cage and "NAWS" sub boxes

I have seen that hood on a few 3rd generation camaros and I don't think it flows well at all with the car, even with 4th gen camaros. It just doesn't seem like the camaro style. I would say to stay away from it.

I personally don't like it, too much going on there in the front.
