I'm thinking this as well.. On the Sunoco car it looks like the hood pretty quickly comes up to full height at about mid-hood, and then slopes back down, and then curves up at the windsheild. Your hood just looks like it gets higher and higher until it reaches the windsheild.. But then again I'm not sure, looks good regardless, but could be better. I think that you do have to be there in person now to really critique it, it's very close.

Well I have some money saved up just for this hood, do you offer them already painted for some extra cash? That would be a good idea so we don't have to go through the trouble of doing it once we get it!

Hi Guys...sorry been off the board for a little while.
It's really hard to see the slope/back of the scoop on the pictures. It's easier to see it in person. We have cropped a pic of our hood and set it over the pic of the sunoco hood and it is almost directly on target. It (the sunoco) is a little more boxy at the very back, where ours is a little more rounded - but it's a very very tiny difference. personally, i think it's looks better rounded....it matches the car a little better.
We're doing the 98 and newer camaro's first, then we will go back and make 'em for the 93-97...but the older style will probably not be ready until spring/summer (sorry).
I am really unsure if we'll offer these for the t/a's - it depends on interest on these.
Thanks guys!
Jeanie

damn...that hood looks awsome. I've seen it on the sunoco camaro before, but that profile shot really looks sick!!

Do you know if the 93-97 version will have the line in the middle or not? Also will we have the option of having it made in CF?

So the fenders are next right!??

You are right about rounding the edges of the cowl so its a little less pronounced. Just a thought about the center line in the the cowl, how about an inverted line. I would definately like to see the finished product. Late.......
