I don't think it looks all that great on 3rd gens, but to me it looks better on the 'birds.

I'm not a fan of it either. Too much round to go with the camaros sqaure lines. I see that hood on everything nowadays and I barely like it on the original car it came on.

That hood is just a trendy fad and won't last the test of time. It's on everything from Dodge Rams to Grand Ams.

No no no...

There is only one car on the planet that can pull of that hood, and it's the LS1 WS6 Trans Am. On a Trans Am there are lower holes that somewhateven out the look of the hood holes. Put it on any other car and it literally looks like a giant snout.

That said, do what you want. You're the only one putting money into your car, and you're (hopefully) the only one driving it, so it should be 100% personalized.

As long as you like it.

If you're torn then succumb to peer pressure! (And don't get that hood!)

HAHA, I have never liked those hoods. I know i am preaching to the choir, but i feel like i should step in as well. They are all round and bubbly while a third gen camaro is very angular. It just looks off. go for something like the SS hood like dewey mentioned:



There is a toned down version for firebirds that i don't mind. like this one:

Big Block stinger hood... best hood EVER for an aftermarket thirdgen Camaro hood IMO ... tops out the loved/hated turbo iroc hood and some others...

other than that nifty jongbloed hood of years past that no one ever mentions anymore

the only after market hood i would put on a 3rd gen Camaro is a cowl hood. i know it's been done, but a 2-4" cowl just looks kick ass on a bird. 2" more so then 4".

RAII hoods NO.
RAI hood maybe
