Cowl Hood
I was just woundering what companies are out there that make cowl hoods for camaros. I still cant decid if I want to go 4 inch or 3 inch. If any one has pics of both that would be great

I bought my fiberglass hood from Atlantic Coast Customs. The Hardwood cowl is very similar to mine. It fits pretty good, I just need to do a little adjusting. Sorry for the crappy pics 
It's a 4" cowl by the way...

well Id say that the first pic you posted looks a little smaller than a four inch cowl.
I would say go with three inch because to me it looks cleaner than a four inch unless you have something serious under there.

This is a Harwood 3" cowl. I will say it took a little getting used to the blocked vision of the cowl vurses the flat hood but I would not trade it cause it looks way cooler.

Thanks for the comments. I am running a TPIS Miniram and a air cleaner that I fabricated. I glassed in the underside of the hood to make the cowl functional. No problem with clearance at all.

406-Z, that's a very clean car you have there. Being you're in NW Houston, pay attention to the SWMG portion of the thirdgen.org forums. We've had 2 very successful Houston Gatherings....and the next one should be even better. End of summer most likely.

Maybe you guys wouldn't know this, but I want to ask anyway. What is the tallest single plane intake manifold that will fit under one of those 3" Cervini's? (ex. Victor Jr, Victor, Super Victor)
