Yes it does.
Wasn't that an 84' only thing?

And warranty units IIRC.
Also, I would say that it doesn't count because it weighs a basjillion pounds like every other Camaro hood.  |

It was an '84 only hood, and Aaron is right that they were warranty replacement hoods for people's hoods that started to separate within the warranty period.
I also had another warranty replacement part on my car, the in-tank helper pump that cured the L69's vapor lock problem. It was definitely dealer hack-job wiring that went to that bad boy.

As I recall, I only beat you to the fiberglass hood by a few days. If James hadn't hydro-locked his 4thgen at the Tumwater yard I may not have gotten it at all since we had no way to transport it. Luckily the tow truck driver let us put the hood on his flatbed!

so since its been raining so much lately I just glassed in some block off plates made out of ABS, I really wish I could make this thing functional, one of my co workers suggested making a hing assembley for the lower part and putting a spring in it so while driving they'd be open and once the resistance of the wind went away they'd shut, kinda screwey to me I dunno, I was thinking of making channels for water to flow, like off to the sides? I could just punch out the plates I made ( not to much glass holding them in) and make a vent pretty much off to the sides, still functional but not raining on my dang dizzy

I had a bad problem with the rain coming in 'cause on the V6 the coil is right below the right side opening!
