Side note, ProjectCamaro, your car is one of the best looking cars. Ever.
yeah i read about it, it sound like a nice thing to do, i also have my headlights in CF and look pretty cool. dont forget to show the pics after your done!!





well i guess if i go with the 3"SS maybe after i installed i would put some manta sticker and a stripe sticker, so i get a better picture of it!

manta = = stripe

haha

also, you should get the spoiler that came on the Dick Harrell Camaros, it would go nicely with the 3" ss, the one you have is prolly to small to match.

i 'll post some pics as soon as i get the hood installed, and more when i paint it!

i understand what you want for you car, thats why i choose this hood, so it would look more unique or at least more unussual to see other one arround the block..

i have this photo, is not mine but if from this weekend at the edinburg track... and is black so you can have a better picture !

The hood comes with a SLP Grille, but is not functional, if you want they can make a hole where the grill is, but still not functional like the OEM SS, its just like a cowl induction i guess...

but still worth it! awsome looks and not verry common!
