Default Thinking of changing the appearance of my car a bit what you think??

This may take a while to buy the parts and all but i think when im done it will look pretty different

Im goin to replace my cracked ultra z hood with the 4inch cowl add the 3 piece wing to the stock wing change up the grille a bit possibly tint the windows i would like to rip off the stock ground effects and drop it an inch or so. New red paint all around also like to put the stripe like the dick harrell camaros have on the side. I guess basically when im done it will look something like the dick harrell camaro

That will def make it look more aggressive, thats for sure. Ive never like the ultra z hoods, so thats a step up. I wish they made a 3" cowl, the 2 is too small and the 4 is slightly too big.

On a side note, how do you like the 233/239?

Yeah those cowl hoods are da bomb! Expecial for that cowl induction on the LS1 Camaro... oh wait.

Maybe its for the huge tall intake and carb on his LS1... oh wait.. no not that either.

Why do you need a cowl induction hood? Cause it makes it look cool?

Honestly I never understood why people with stock style intakes get cowl hoods, in my humble opinion they look like a relic from a log forgotten automotive age which are totally without a purposeful use, and I honestly this they looks silly.

The rear wing does make it looks more aggressive, the lowering it will give the car a better stance, possibly even make it handle better if done right.

The stripe, Im not a big fan of either.

Then again, its your car, so go nuts!

Get the sunoco style hood without the body line. Def get the 2 inch hood though not the 4 inch.
