Can you guys/gals post any pics of camaros w/ SS hoods on them? I recently screwed up my RS hood and would like a SS hood if it would look good. Also could I possibly talk someone into photoshoping a SS hood on my car? I dont have a pic of the hood, so if you don't feel like looking for a hood to photoshop onto it, dont worry bout it. Thanx alot .

 

I have photo shop, but dont know how to use it You look like a good artist, why dont you draw one on? Maybe Ill have my sis teach me one day....

 

Here's what a new SS hood will look like on your car before you paint it!!

 

lots of pics of cars with aftermarket hoods here:

I have the SS Hood on my 92 RS and I think it looks great....my car is the last one on the right side on the 3rd page (old pic....)

hope it helps.

This is a sweet *** car!!!!!!

 

I wish I drew my signature pic (if that is what your refering to). I had a guy on here do it for me w/ a program he has...dont remember what it was called/who it was.

 

Forgot to say thanx to SloStangEater and zer0321 for the sites, and bassetracing for the pic, they have convinced me to get an SS hood. Now another question....do you think I should paint it the same gunmetal gray that my car is now or paint the SS part in the middle a different color...say black or whatever. Thanx again.

 

Your Welcome Umm Ive seen both contrasts of dark/light on the hood and I find that if you do paint the hood scoop.......Make it lighter than the actual color of the car. Like, if you had a black car then paint the scoop silver. Just my $.02

 

Are you refering to the top of the scoop or the part where it indents for the ram air? The top of the scoop paint the same color of the car, the indented ram air part.... I dont know if I like it, but it might look cool like a darker gray, I dunno. my .02
Im sure it will look good either or to you...

 

I was speaking of just the top of the hoodscoop. Or Racing Striped would be cool. It just all depends on who you are and what you like. But fenderent.com has all kinds of hoods for cheap....

 

personally, I think a white stripe would look great on your car......I think the SS Hoods look a little bare/akward without a stripe....I have a custom grey stripe on mine that matches the 15" 5-spoke Z28 style grey/black rims that I have on there now.

yeah, the hood makes a big difference in the appearance factor of the car, i've had tons of people (that I don't know) come up to my car and admire it, though some people here will tell you that you are trying to mislead people into thinking you have a V8, but hey why would you ever want to do that?

It's just my opinion but I think that you should consider a 91-92 High-Rise Spoiler, I think it looks great with the SS Hood (and it sets your car apart from the boring & trashed-out typical opinions people have of the thirdgen camaro) and since you have to have the hood painted anyways you might as well do it at the same time...

Well, Good Luck!

show us some pics once you get it on

 

I'm talking about this part that is circled, but I was thinking a stripe in the ram air part, perhaps black.

 

I would say paint it the same color, maybe the ram air part a diff color though, the stripe sounds cool

 

Or mabye something like this...but all gunmetal gray w/ a black or white stripe...but should thestripe go all the way down the car or stop once it hits the ram air?

 

Well that is original........I wouldnt think it would look that bad at all.

 

By the way.........How do you post pictures in your messages? I cant do it. I dont know why though.

 

at the bottom of the post reply part there is a browse button...just hit that, find your pic, and hit ok. It should post it, but you can only do one per post...not exactly sure on how to do more than one at a time per post.

 

wow that was easy.......thanx

 

one more question....on that middle "ram air stripe" should I end it at the camaro sign, or go down to the grill, or past the grill to the bottom of the front gfx?

 

definently dont go past the emblem.... I would say stop there....

 

Ya, thats what I was thinking, the camaro sign comes down to a point and kinda finishes the stripe for me. I think Im gonna do a black stripe, but it won't be till the end of the summer. Gotta make some moola first, but I will definately post pics when it gets done .

 

Black stripe that ends at the camaro icon would look great, dont forget the pics when your done

 

I made my own hood...cost a lot less. Bought the scoo[ from Jc Whitney, cut my hood and glassed it in, it is functional. Check it out on the reader's rides section

 

Dude that is SSSWWWEEEETTTT!!! But I'm not that talented and like to go the "pay-for-professional work" route...guess I'm lazy, oh well. It really don't bother me if it is functional or not, I'm going for looks, not speed, or else I woudn't have a 2.8L right now . I would love to be able to do stuff like that and get results like yours, but autobody work isn't my field.

 

here's my iroc......

 

i think i may not have exactly the colors you were thinking but i think if the stripe extends a lil past the symbol and then terminates in the appropriate point then it will look even better. heh heh as an extra i added the clear turnsignals that i've seen floating around here and there i think they look cool and wanted to see what they looked like so i gave it a whirl and think they turned out nicely...here's my contribution...

 

^^^^^^Love it, that looks great, thanx alot . Where should the stripe end though? I was thinking end it when the front stops slanting and goes strait down into the grill...almost where you had it, but a tad bit farther

 

Perhaps like this, w/ the black stripe....it isnt very good cuz all I have to use is paint, if someone can do it better, like Archael, go ahead and try. Now that I look a little bit harder at it, I like where Archael ended it the first time.....

 

Ooops, forgot picture

 

is there two differnt SS hoods because this one looks a lot smother than the ones on this post. Does any one know cause i was just wondering. it might be the way the picture is taken

 

Nope, theres only the ASCD SS Hood. I wish they made one that was a little more narrow, like the later SS's.

 

IMHO I think it looks better in the first pic Archael
posted, right before the bend in the nose, maybe with like an outline stripe like on the the dual racing stipes.

 

i think the hood is awesome.... in fact im going to buy one too, but that stripe makes it look like the car is throwing up!!!!

that white stripe looks something like a vaginal tract...



get the hood.... ditch the stripe

 

I love when posts are brought back from months ago. It means someone actually searched

 

for an idea on how to paint an SS hood. i kinda like this setup....

 

Then alot of people are searching, Im getting replys from posts that are 6 months old like crazy

 

one guy did a serch & posted & brought this thread back to life. so now people are just seeing it reading the post & not noticing the dates... letting this thing live on....

 

hey all, can't believe this came back, lol. But I've hit a money problem, my car hit its "mid-life crisis" and is breaking sht left and right. Had to do a new clutch, alt, ignition lock cylinder, starter, and battery. So I am moneyless right now, so the hood and paint job have been postponed . But I had a new idea for the stripe....instead of ending it at the camaro sign, just follow the smyetrical curve of the hood and let it end where it ends, can someone photoshop this if they know what im talkin bout? thanx. Any other ideas on stripes or ways to paint it while I'm askin?

 

Im likin this one.....but with a gunmetal grey car

 

ooppppssss, fogot the pic, lol

 

Pic 2

 

Oh, hey zer0321, do you have a pic of your car from the front so I can see what it looks like from that angle?

 

sure:

I'll take one tommorow (when it's light out) with my digital camera so you can have a look

it's a good thing you caught me - it's being taken in to be repainted (hopefully with the same style stripe) tommorow...I think what your "idea" is, is the same as what is on my car...let me know if it is after I post a pic)

 

now those are nice hoods guys!! :hail:

 

Ever get that pic man?

 

New idea, can someone photoshop it for me? It might be kinda hard to show in a pic, but what I was thinking is that the camaro emblem is red white and blue, in that order, sooooo, run a red, white, and blue stripe respectivly (sp?) and have them end at the camaro sign....the white make them proportional or whatever u wanna call it so that they are all the same size. I think it would look pretty sweet, even patriotic, and definately origional or mabye a boe-tie or RS on the cowl part of the hood, hell iunno, just throwin out ideas, give me some feedback and ideas of ur own please!!

 

sorry it took so long...

(looks better in person, but you get the idea)

 

looking great! :hail:

 

Thats close, damn close, so close it not even funny, but i want the stripe to narrow and reach the camaro sign, but that looks way cool man, I like the stripe goin on top too, I was just gonna stop when I hit the ram air..mabye Ill make the hood scoop black too, that could look coo. Oh hey, one more question....how rapidly does the end of the scoop narrow, I mean is it quick, like this \ /....or more slowly, like this \ /. I hope I got that question across right, didnt know how else to exlpain it, lol.

 

its all about the ws6 ram air hood. if anybody has one of these puppies for sale and in good condition for the rite price i would be willing to take it off ur hands
