Naw Jack, but what I'd do is paint the hood and do the stripes in flat blk like the MACH's that'd be sweet.

You obviously do, or you wouldn't be asking our OPINIONS about your black hood, would you?

Most aftermarket hoods are black when they arrive. Most factory metal hoods come in black primer when they arrive. So, when you drive around with a black hood on a non-black Camaro, it just looks like it isn't painted.

Do the two-tone like someone else posted, that would work.

I see what you are all saying, and I agree. It just doesn't flow right with the body lines. AW, I really like what you did though, THAT LOOKS BADASS! What I need is an aftermarket hood. Then I could pull it off easier. Thanks everyone, and if I sounded like a smartass at times, it's because I am!

I like the spoiler...whats the diff with the hood....looks stock?


And then I read the other posts....I get it now....I like the two tone Ideas..painting the top half of teh car Gloss black I think would look pretty unique..there were som shots os a Z82 floating around a while ago of a two tone car..looked ok kto me but it drew flames from most...

I think this was the best idea out of all of them. Goes perfect with the wheels too.
Its great to be different and we are just giving honest opinions of how we think your car would look the best.
Mabey you could even run a silver line between the black and the red to match the silver lip on your wheels.
