Yeah, I can see your reference. But if you look at a real Camaro SS hood, the scoop takes up about a tenth to an eight of the hood, and blends with the flow of the body lines.
This scoop takes up at least a third of the hood. Way, way too big for the hood to scale. Look at the T/A style hood in the back ground, a lot more subtle.
GM did a great job IMO with the "aero" look of the MCSS. This hood is too "buldgy" (like a comic super hero's muscles), and the "V" and straight lines don't match because there isn't a staight line on the MCSS. Doesn't fit.

it's a photochop
I meant it too just get an idea for myself while I had a week off from work over the holidays...and then I ran across this forum recently and thought some might be interested
I tried to do another view...but with the shots of my car and the angles from the hood pics...there was a lot of skewing and warping involved and I couldn't get it to look satisfactory for myself...and not to mention I'm still new to photoshop...if i ever get time...i'll try again
