ahhhhhh,,,,, you f***in copycat. thats the hood thats goin on my car.
it was a hard choice between a aero coyl and that, but i think that 2.5 wide cowl is a lil more classy

i'm a big fan of cowl hoods. maybe a couple vinyls on the side of it too to break up all the white?

Yuck, do not like the smoothed out cowl hoods, straight 3 inch cowl.

Granted the catfishes are all curvy so eh.

But in the end, a new hood won't make more power for you. Spend the money on a new nitrous kit.

FYI that is just a GM cowl hood optional on 69 Camaros.

I'm sure there is someone out there that will pay a pretty penny for a OEM SS hood. Get this hood, sell SS hood, and then buy more go-fast parts!

i don't think it flows with the lines of the body at all...in my opinion this is one of the ugliest aftermarket hoods available for the catfish 4th gen.

I think it's one of the better hoods for the LS1 cars, the lines work well. Is it worth the money though instead of other go fast parts? If you can sell your SS hood to offset the cost then it's a good tradeoff.

Huh I think the Jongbloed hoods match the 4th gen body lines great. Its 3rd gens they are goofy on yet still intriguing looking.
