Default new CF camaro hood

I was searching ebay and came across this hood I have never seen before, looks pretty interesting. I think someone should buy it, paint it, and get some pics up.

let me know what you guys think.

Also, there is no need to bash this hood, and start another weight savings debate. just simply say what you think of the appearance of the hood. Please leave the term RICE out of this thread.

I think I just vomited a little bit in my mouth. It's not rice, it's just wrong in my opinion.

That's not bad at all. I'm not sure about the louvers, but I kind of like it.

That one is certainly cleaner than that one batmobile abomination that was up for sale before but still a little too much. Not my taste at least.

I actually like it alot. It looks like the road racing version that was floating around a while ago.

I'd like to see what they come up with for a firebird, but noone ever thinks about the firebird, only camaros.

Yeah, his original name is back to "registered user" from "Bannedit" so it wasn't a permanent ban.

Such is life.

Raven02TA - I agree 100%. Maybe the break helped.


Sorry for the Hijack....

you guys realize it's not a 100% carbon hood, right ? says in the description the hood has a frp structure. The carbon is only the top layer. so if you are going to paint it, there's no point in this hood over a fiberglass one.

Nice catch!

I think the louvers mess up the lines on the hood...
