**** yeah slowz28, your car is exactly the same as mine, except mine has no black berger, just black camaro inserts, I have a black billet grill in front, and I have black C6 Z06's... other than that, same car, to a tee! All black and red, 15% tints.

Dude I even think your nose badge is the same as mine, I got an all red one made with black outline and a black chevy symbol near the bottom. Your car is beautiful man, perfect

3" Octane Motorsports cowl here...gotta fit the supervic+elbow . It's all opinion but it was the one that I like the look of the most, since the sides of the cowl taper into the hood instead of going straight down so it doesn't look like a stick-on cowl on a stock hood.

Very aggressive cowl with the rib down the middle...don't have any painted pics since its still bare white fiberglass even though I have had it on for 2 years .

Puck, is that a bolt-on or pin-on? How is the fit?

Bolt-on, using the stock latch.

Fit was surprisingly well, I only payed around $500 shipped back in 07 or 08.

Thanks for the info. A friend is looking for a pin-on hood just like that with the sides that taper down into the hood instead of 90* angles. No luck so far.

No problem. You can just not bolt on the hood latch and use a pin on set if you wanted. I doubt it would save any amount of weight to be worth it, unless he wants the pins just for the looks.

I never realized the LS1 and LT1 Camaro SS had different shaped hood nostrils until today.

Hmm this thread got some more life eh? I still haven't painted my car.

lt1slowz28, ever think of getting a short antenna or cutting your stock one down? Your car looks great and it would probably be the finishing touch. I never noticed how much a stock height antenna bothered me until I adjusted to my short one.

I also went with a LS1 style SS spoiler, the harwood + SS spoiler combo is awesome.

corey... why would i do that... the long one helps for when i lock the keys in the car, and here in some parts of tx you can be without a radio station for quite some time with a shorter antenna... learned the hard, silent way with the mustang for both.

besides... long antenna you can put a big raccoon tail or a flag on it.

I got my "harwood" from the widely criticized ebay seller "hoods4sale". I decided to take the gamble and ****, for $300 shipped I couldn't ask for more. I'd say the fit is a 8/10. Needs some light filler for a few wavy spots but it's totally worth it. My buddy bought a ram air hood from VFN, payed around $700 for it (it was for a 96 impala ss) and it fit like absolute ****. We even installed it right in VFN's parking lot...

I think I paid 580 shipped for the harwood, fit like stock, only had one minor blemish in the gelcoat that was fixed easily by my painter.
