Save your money for an SS hood. That hood just looks out of place on a Camaro to me.

First time I saw one with that hood I was so tickled because I love the ws6 hood. But the more I see Camaro's with that hood, it just looks out of place, doesn't flow right on a Camaro. I want something to break up the plainness of my hood and I want it to be unique but unfortunately no matter what I do somebody else is probably going to have it somewhere.

Yeah you can, and it should have came with the kit to hook that up. I believe he said that it was functional on the first page somewhere too

This car makes it look really good.. A Camaro needs GFX if they are gonna use this.. Just doesnt look right if there isnt any..

The only reason I think that one looks ok is the fact that the car has so much going on that you dont look at the hood

Ever see an SS hood on a Trans Am?
There's a reason for that too, ..., They just don't mix well together.
I think the Pontiac Ram Air style hood looks out of place on the Camaro.
If you want that hood, ..., Buy a T/A, ...

Im in agreement with alot of people here in regards to the hood. I think it looked good with the bodykit but there was just so much goin on with the car. I took the bodykit off to make it look more refined and less gawdy. Now I have the hood and at first it looks mean, but then you take a second look and its almost too big for the front end and doesn't go with the lines which I am starting to see the more I look at it. I guess Im split between the initial aggressiveness of the first look and the hey that doesnt really sync with the rest of the car on the second look.

Am I really gaining anything with having cold air on my filter through the scoops? I think about having the FIPK on the factory or ss hood and it seems like it would be breathing hot air in the engine compartment.

Don't like them on the Camaros. I'm a bit of a purist and I think they go with the T/As. Kinda like the SS hoods on Z28s and V6 cars... don't like them.

I don't like it at all...on a camaro OR firebird. Anyways, camaro's have so many hood options, why would someone want this?
