Thats cool, but you gotta agree, that hood is blocking a substantial portion of the firebird windshield. I would also wager that he doesn't need ANY of the clearance, and this is coming from a guy who puts 4" hoods on everything he owns. Cowl hoods are cool, but those are race car hoods in the pics. If you have that hood and run slower than mid 9's I'd laugh.
The camaro one is fine, although it too is a race car piece, at least you can maintain some visibilty.
Anymore alot of race classes are requiring wipers. I plan to do drag week at some point, I'll need those wipers.

Thanks guys!
TS6, to each his own, the hood is needed to clear the single plane and carb. I'm sure I could have went an inch or so smaller though. Not a big deal to me, I like the way the car looks. The car's only purpose is to go down the track, I'm not out cruising the car all over or anything like that.

My bud had that Firebird hood, not the extended since it wasnt a lift off, it got some oohhhs and ahhhh, and some WTF!? I am always been a fan of functionality and if the room is needed, then thats the point.
Looks like some fittment needs to be done as the corners have the rubber cones on each corner.

The hood was pulled out of the shipping crate and set on the car, you are correct it's going to take some slight work to get it to sit perfect.
Tektrans, I'll get a pic from the drivers seat tonight. It shouldn't be too bad. The car is a track car that will see very little if any friday night / saturday night cruising.

Anyway, I love both looks, and plan on going with the VFN extended Sunoco for my SS when the new 408 goes in. And yes, I will need the room with the Super Victor intake and Accufab 4150 throttle body.
