I heard that stuff was on it's way, so I put the car in the wannabe garage to keep it safe!

I agree with thechef though.. claim it as natural causes and pick up a new hood. A nice cowl hood would make it stick out and wouldn't be so typical IMHO...

Yes Tim, that's the cowl hood I was speaking of.. simply badass! It makes the 4th Gen Camaro a real Camaro IMHO! Besides why be typical with purchasing an SS hood also considering the fact you already have an SS! LoL

There are two other cowls I personally like, one is a really wide cowl and the other one is more rounded... like on the Berger, Dick Harrell Edition!

The only thing that sucks is VFN is saying those hoods are a minimum of 6 weeks out. And yeah, I don't want two black SS's in the driveway.

Yeah, I don't have pictures, but my friends Saturn was parked in my driveway and the entire car is dented... the roof, the hood, the trunk. It probably has 100-150 little dents.
