I am getting my car painted real soon and want a lighter hood that the stock blisters will fit on.


sounds like a simple question but I can't find a good one. anywere


it could be fiberglass or CF I'm going to paint it so I don't care

I got a pic of what I want

If I can't find it soon I will half to use the stock one


I know everone has seen this but I wanted to try one last time

that carbon fiber hood is on a car that is in Japan, most likely custom made. Never personally seen a fiberglass hood that uses louvers, that would prob have to be custom made as well unless someone else can fill you in about a hood that i don't know of

my hood is fiberglass....it was on the car when i got it so i have no details about it....

nikh23

ah actually the 82-84 (i think) Z's came with a stock fiberglass hood, but it didn't accept the louvers. It was a hood that was kinda similar to the one had louvers on it but not entirely the same. Black90rs you got a pic of your car?

black90rs

na i dont have any pics right now but my hood is fiberglas with the louvers in it..

Here's a pic of a stock glass Z hood.
you might be able to put the blisters on top of the indents--not sure tho.

black90rs

wow that looks exactly like mine....mine is still primered grey ..but yeah mine looks the same

nikh23

yea thats the hood that was available from the 82-84 models. The louvers will not fit on that hood, you can tell how towards the bottom of those indentations that its too narrow in comparison to the actual louvers/blisters. those hoods used black decals to fill that cavity

because knowone would pay 500 + bucks for a lighter "stock" appearing hood, there gonna want there moneyw orth and get an SS hood or a big block stinger hood.

Good luck finding the carbon fiber hood!! If you do find one, I'm in!!!

However, paint doesn't stick to Carbon Fiber as well as it sticks to fiberglass.

j91z28d1

but those look like ***

some inport crap

5SIZ

sorry but im not the only one thats gonna agree with me when i say the Camaro SS hood is NOT import..... neither if the big block hood..

and they look FAR from ***...

j91z28d1

well you know what i mean

bolt on crap for looks

I just wanted to save some weight

not change the look of the car


I used to make fun of dumb mustang guys who put big 4in cals on a EFI cars and i don't want to be one of them. they have there place on fast car not slow ones like mine.

no two people will ever agree on what lookes good

thats not what i want this post to turn into. I just want a hood thats all

Sorry

I'm in the same boat you're in.

I like the stock appearance of my IROC too. I've been looking around for a stock looking fiberglass hood with no luck at all.

If you find, one let me know.

j91z28d1

When you say without the "blisters do you mean I can bolt mine on. because that's what I'm looking for.

I have a picture of the stock hood, Its a copy of this hood that I want.

If so and this is what you can make. I will be the first in line to buy one.

We can build the flat Camaro hood you're looking for, without the "blisters". As a bolt on design it is $395.00 plus $25.00 boxing. Truck freight is additional and is paid by you upon arrival directly to Yellow Freight.
Let us know when we can start your hood.

Hope this makes sense thats what he sent me and my replys. Feel free to e-mail him any questions and let me know what he says.




I will be calling him tomarrow to order one.

I hope the fit is good but i think i'll take the chance, I really want a hood before i paint my car.
