Starting to think the Z doesn't need a hood
 
I have not seen much I really like out there that is much better than stock. The SS hood is not to bad, but I don't have an SS. Ultra Z is ok. The only one I like, is the one not being made.

HMM maybe I should skip an aftermarket hood and go right for the TC and shift kit. :drive: :drive: :drive: :drive:

You're right, there's not too much for aftermarket on the Camaros. There's the SS (looks stock, what's so special?) Ultra Z (I think it's cool), Big Block (looks cool, but I'd have to cut a hole in the front to make it look functional) But yeah, other than those (and I guess those fugly Raptor hoods :p) Who knows, you probly would be better off with go-fast mods. I went appearance first, but now I can devote all time and money to fast stuff :cheers:

That is kind of what I am doing. Appearance first for the most part. Already have lid/exhaust. I need to baseline the Z at the track and then get busy with a couple of performance mods.

Re: Starting to think the Z doesn't need a hood
 
good plan
only appearance mods i want on my Z is subtle stuff, like wheels, nice stance, paint a few
pieces here and there
I personally like the standard hood more than the SS....same for the spoiler
too bad noone makes a Z28 hood in fiberglass or a composite material, that would rock
but i might consider a small cowl hood :)
