Hey guys, I was wondering if the hood on your shop camaro was done by Joe VanOverbeek? If so do you have a contact # for him. If it was not could you let me know who did your hood? Does the person who did your hood have a way of making the hood without the back rear coners of the hood cut off?

Joe did do the hood on the car. It's a awesome piece!! A couple of things when dealing with Joe, the hood took very long to get (well worth waiting for though), also the hood comes just like it is on my car, with the notches in it. It is made for a pro stretched body. The corners aren't cutoff when you get the hood from Joe, we did that, but the hood at that point does not fit the body very well. That is why we cut it. Again I will say, Joe's hoods are very good quality. I will find the number for Joe for you.

Thanks

Thanks Chris! Also is the hood fiberglass or carbon fiber? How long did it take? And last can you give me an idea on cost? It looks like a nice hood and just what I need and was looking for!

Thanks again!

Kyle's right...........carbon fiber. Weighs 6lbs and cost $990 before painting. It took me right around 4 month's to get it. Worth the weight though. The hood comes wider and longer than you will need. That made it easy and nice for us to trim down and make the gaps even along the fenders.

Thanks

He told me the same thing!! Hopefully yours get's to you in a few weeks. Joe is a great guy and was very good to deal with. He even personally delivered my hood to me. I don't think that option is available to you, since your in cali! Let me know if you need anything else from me. Good luck with your car.

Thanks

BTW, what size drag radial do you have on the back of the camaro?
