my buddy has that hood on his '90 RS. it's a great lookin' hood when applied on the right car. his looks awesome, and it works out great with the rise in the hood cuz he's got a 383 stroker with the commander 950

There's nothing wrong with that hood. The wing I don't really agree with, and the bulges don't look good at all. If they were grafted into the side more and fit the body lines better they might look good though.

I think the best thing that could happen to that is to part it out and burn the offending parts and never speak of it again (hood included).

ladies lets calm it down, i see more and more posts locked up because everyone doesnt like the style, but you know maybe in that guys eyes his car looks good, he made it the way he wanted it, sure i dont like parts of it and you dont but maybe he is proud of it like you or me are of ours, maybe he's looking at the bagged cars with big hoods and shiny paint going what did they do to that?

Yes, people are allowed to do with their cars what they want.

But...

That's the type of car that pulls up next to you and revs his 4.3L because he thinks that the more holes in the hood the faster his 1/4 mile time.

No offense to the big hood crowd!
Personally, I love the appearance of the SS style hoods...but considering 95% of the people running aftermarket hoods don't have a functional setup, it kinda brings the 'poser' comment to mind, especially with a hood like this one.

''In their defense...I had racing stripes on a stock 305 TBI RS when I turned 16.''

arguing a stereotype with another one are we? ....I think most people use aftermarket hoods and designs for the appearance, and not performance....I dont really see how people can lie to you and say they have a ton of power, when you're standing right there listening to it and/or looking under the hood.....I dont think I could ever fool anyone into thinking my car was fast if they got a peek under all my 'perfromance cosmetics'
