fiber glass hood?
this might be a stupid question but im new to the ls1 model fbodys. does the 98-02 camaro's come with a fiber glass hood from factory or is it aluminum?
im trying to trade my hood for aluminum one but ima feel really stupid if they're all the same.
thanks.

the stock hoods are't fiberglass (atleast the base models arent... i cant tell you about SS/WS6). im pretty sure the stock hoods are made of SMC (sheet molding compound). aftermarkets are gonna be fiberglass for the most part.
you'll know the difference as soon as you hold the two of them. the stock hood weighs a LOT for than fiberglass aftermarkets

Stock z28 and firebird/trans ams are steel, and stock ws6/ss hoods are smc. Aftermarket ws6/ss hoods are fiberglass along with any other aftermarket hoods unless it thier stock aftermarket then thier steel. Never saw an aluminum hood for a f body

Believe it or not, many aftermarket SS/WS6 hoods are heavy and weigh over 24 lbs each - even the OEM SS/WS6 hoods are "heavy"! Almost the same as a steel hood. On the flip side, many aftermarket hoods are lightweight too. It really just varies depending on the brand/model...
