Re: hoods hoods hoods! post bad *** pics of your hoods
Can't go wrong with a Cervini 3", I plan on getting one for my 92 Z28 when I get ready to get it painted again.
These are pics from my IrocZ I use to own, man those pics bring back memories.

Here's a few pics of my hood. It's a custom hood so I dont know what to call it. Don't mind the dirt, I haven't wash my car in a while.

Mr., I like the idea very much. Any chance of a pic(s) from the underside of the hood?

Re: hoods hoods hoods! post bad *** pics of your hoods
How much would you want to do a set if I sent you my fiance's louvers.
Later down the road after I do a drivetrain swap I'd like to get either the SS hood of a small 2" Cervini cowl hood. I think a 4" hood is somewhat overkill unless you have a monster air cleaner under there.

NOOOO, don't change the hood.... the IROC is so fitting. I love the SS hood on the 4th gen cars but seems out of place on the third gens. Cowls, not a fan of them either, and the IROC cowl hood IMO is nasty... Her car is absolutly perfect how it is, don't change the hood!

Re: hoods hoods hoods! post bad *** pics of your hoods
Hi Guys,
I'd love to make the louvers for you, but at this point, all my time is going into finishing my car. I haven't really driven her in 4 years!
Here is a picture with the louvers off. As you can see, we left some support braces so that the louvers will have a proper seat. After you cut the louvers, put it back on the car and trace out the holes on the hood. That will be your template to make cuts into the hood. Even with the braces in place, you are not able to see them from the outside since the louvers cover them. This is the result:

MR. Irocz i would plexy glass underneath the louvers so you dont get dirt in the engine, would still look functional.

Yes, the modded IROC louver hood is very nice, and on your car I really like the blister hood. I really like both of your cars anyhow... My two favorite colors for the camaro... You lucky dog!
