VFN's New LT1 Firebird Hood! Pictures Added on page 5
This is just an idea please let us know what you think
From This
To This
And This
To This
this would combine the vette with the firebird and sunoco, fix the flatness that the lt1 suffers from, we would round out the top of the hood to give the illusion of rounded fenders. We would also raise the scoop a little more than the picture shows something like 3 to 3-1/2 inches. NO BARFING PLEASE!!!

I like it. The rounded sides look good the way they roll into the fenders. And I like the subtleness of the center. I wouldn't want to see it larger, honestly I think it'll be ruined going to a larger cowl look.
But to really get a feel for it, you need pics of it painted to match, and get rid of the bra, that really gets in the way of seeing how it really flows with the front end.

put the stock ws6 hood vents on this chop. Just to clear up what I was talking about.

McNords rendering is sick, reminds me of the caravaggio c5 sc hood which I love. If something like that was available for ls1 camaros I would of gotten it rather than the sunoco which I still like so I guess I cant complain. But props for still showing support for the lt1 owners.

Thanks for the input, one thing we wanted to mention is that the hood we pictured on the car is only a photoshop idea at this point also, so we can do just about anything at this point nothing is set in stone. Seeing as the front end of a firebird has more in common with a vette than the camaro We set a vette hood on top of a car and smoothed it in photoshop,
I will try to get another photo without the bra, the nose on this car is covered for a reason unfortunately.
The vette impression on the top of the scoop is one of the reasons we wanted to hear others opinions,we would like to add more curve to the scoop like our Sunoco design but we werent sure if we wanted to replicate the Camaro sunoco for the firebird just so its not too played out, but that may be something we do in the end afterall, thats why we value your opinions.
Thanks guys keep-em coming
