Default ZL1 Style Hoods ON SALE NOW...

Inspired by the new ZL1 Camaro we wanted to offer products that you could convert your 1998-2002 Camaro into your own version of the ZL1, like this...





Having already offered the front and rear bumper and spoiler...

The last thing to complete the package was the hood, so here it is (IN THESE PICTURES IT IS NOT BOLTED ON, JUST LAID ON FOR PICS SO FITMENT IS BETTER THAN WHAT YOU SEE)...











Now we did NOT private label this piece. Therefore it in our eyes has issues you should be aware of that we would have not incorporated into the design. The biggest one being it was made overseas and they didn't pay attention to the BOTTOM of the hood.
They molded it off of a stock hood and LEFT the center bar HALF way in (literally they just cut HALF of it for the scoop and left the other half just HANGING there).

SO, you will need to trim part of the bottom of the hood. We also recommend you sand the etched line on the top of the hood some to make it more defined. Other than that it will take the normal prep work any overseas fiberglass hood requires.

All said and done less than an hour of prep work and you'll have an awesome hood!

Manufacturer tries to keep them in stock but most are already sold (by us) before they hit the warehouse. So worst case expect 4-6 weeks for shipment but it is usually 2-4 weeks, thanks!

Honestly it'd look better without the outline around it...

Are the vents functional? Or are they just for show.

I like it. I wonder how it would look on a Sunoco wide? Never been a fan of squared cowl hoods on the later 4th gens.

I like it with two-tone paint. Is the back of the cowl open and/or "functional"?

The design of that hood is an utter train wreck, none of the angles match the car at all. You weren't kidding Mark when you said they never even see a real car.

I spent 20 minutes in photoshop correcting things. Now it looks "ok". I say just ok because I dont think this design works on a 4th gen at all, but thats just my subjective opinion I am sure many will disagree with.

That hood is hideous imo, does not work on a 4th gen! Should be like a $300 eBay hood!! WTF is with the mesh at the openings, Home depot special.

Agreed. If I can get my hands on a cheap enough ZL1 insert we'll try it...
