Oh, and where did you find a hood like that to fit on a Camaro? You'll catch some heat for it I'm sure, but I think it's cool looking.

I believe carhoods.com makes that hood. Its called the ram air II if anyone's interested. I have it on my car- anyone experiencing rattles from it?It seems like I have to turn my hood bumpers up past my fenders to keep it from rattling, and then it doesn't look alinged correctly.

I bought a Volant ram air intake and it makes the hood fully functional.
