No, there is too much going on with the front end. But that's just my opinion

I think it actually looks good. Is that a photoshop or does someone really make it?

Eliminate the cowl aspect of it, and that may look alright. But I bet eliminating the cowl makes the scoop portion contact the intake.

Color, its all about the color of your car and what color your going to paint the hood.


But if your asking what I think? I think it looks to busy, its a nice hood just dosen't look good on a Firebird/TA.

No I looks like *** on a T/A or Camaro. It belongs on a vet ..... the only hood that looks good on a T/a is the "nose" aka WS6 hood,thats just my 2c

The only pics I've ever seen of that hood on those cars is photoshop. I have not seen any real pictures.

VIP1 yes exactly ... i'm thinking no one has bit the bullet & purchased one yet. if the company can't even produce one and actually put one on a car then that says something in itself

That hood design has been out for many years and I have never once seen a pic of it on a real car. They are all photoshop pics.

Hate to bump an old thread but this hood has my interest if it's lighter than my SS hood. Here are pictures of an actual hood for a camaro.

both look like *** because of the lines for the cowl that don't flow with the hood or bumper at all. If they added it to a normal hood, or just designed better cowl lines it could have had potential.

The front end of those cars is pretty busy anyway. That hood just adds to it, and its too much.
