It's not my car so I don't have a real concern but I don't like the confused look. I don't like what was done to the car. The hood isn't very bad looking on it but I think the lip looks even more out of place. Seems a little ironic to me that CAMARO is plastered across the front, yet it doesn't sport it's own hood...

To be honest, it's not bad. The groud effects are actually classy to those of us old enough to remember them from the RK Sport ads. RK Sport had nice looking LT1 Camaros when Mustangs looked and performed like crap.

The hood, yes it's a WS6 hood but at least it's not the Raptor/LS1 style. The car looks clean, just not the most popular choices in parts but it looks good. If you did not know the hood was modeled off a Firebird you might see the car differently...

At the very least it was done tastefully (if you ignore the CAMARO on the front), I've seen much worse.

Here's a recent example. I found these pics online the other day, I guess the car just got painted:

I think the hood looks pretty damn nice as far as knock off ram air hoods. I don't think it looks bad at all.

I don't think it looks too bad. Without the "CAMARO" in the front.....it would look cleaner IMO......

Ehhhhh... I don't think that even looks like a camaro anymore... Why take the muscle out of a muscle car? I think the wing on back kills it. It would look pretty nice without the wing.

Check out that incredibly amazing hood fitment!

Ditto, that car would look good w/o the wing. Not sure about the taillights either. But wing+taillight = eclipse to me.

The only thing I think looks out of place is the ram air decals half way up the hood and the camaro is just a little too large. Besides that, its a pretty clean LT1.

I am confused looking at it. I is a nice set up but there is something about it that throws it off a little. I just dont know what it is.

I geuss you had to put CAMARO in big huge letters on it because people kept mistaking it for a 16 year old kids Civic?

I actually really like that hood on the black camaro. Not a huge fan of the ground effects, but they are awful either.

The hood on the black car is fine. I like it alright....
That orange car is a different story... I love the hood (if it either fit correctly or was lined up correctly) and I like the color, but those taillights make me sick, and they need to take the shelf down that's sticking up off the back of the car.
