I'll be leaving the aftermarket hoods to you guys.

I've seen many Camaros with aftermarket hoods, and no offense to any of you who's cars are in this group, but I've still yet to see one that matches up all the way around. The gap problems are always there.

They ought to fit right in with them slab sided wheels...

I agree, but Showstopper is advertising that hood as having perfect fit and finish. If anyone can do it, they can.

I'm going to wait and see.

:laugh:

I hope someone does. I do want one that can extract heat. If nobody had a fitting one then I'll just get a ZL1 hood.

I might want to do that anyway. I don't want to chance ordering and paying and getting one that isn't right.

I'm now thinking about the ZL1 hood and facia.

I really like the ZL1 hood and fascia. I do worry a little about the perception that I'm trying to pose. I know the real deal and I know it's all that matters but it is something to consider. Hood first for heat extraction.

Fascia is cosmetic. I'll leave those to Chris.

The hood and facia match though. The cowl is wider on the ZL1 and that line comes down (just a little) onto the facia. Also the hood has a bit steeper profile at the nose of the car that is continued onto the facia. It's subtle, but I would notice those things every time I look at the car. Yes, a good body shop could doctor the cowl lines on the facia, but eventually any putty work would show up and start to look bad.

Oh, as far as the facia being cosmetic, that's mostly true, but I think that largeer lower grill on the ZL1 may let in more air than the SS. (I'm speculating there.)

....and me. Let's face it, I can't get the performance from my car that you all can get.

But that ZL1 fascia is just awesome. Not only will the lower grill allow more air in, it's angled to allow cooling to the front brakes. I've got the foglights already and I'm debating about leaving the ZL1 fascia bottom holes (smaller foglights) open to hit my Injen cold air intake head on and mounting a GoPro on the passenger side. The side pieces that fit in the front wheel well deflect air around the side of the car (saw this in wind tunnel testing) and I'm hoping that will save the rear gills from some chips.

The only downside I see is with the car lowered, I'm going to lose some more approach angle. We'll have to see how pans out.

You won't see a ZL1 badge on my grill.
I figure I'm bypassing the V6 guys getting an SS fascia and jumping right to the big dog.
The options for splitters are crap for the V6 fascia.
This fascia is just the bee's knees!

:D Emma...

pretty much every aftermarket body panel is gonna have to have some glassing done to make the gaps perfect.

Exactly...not that I can get one anytime soon. But, I LOVE that hood!

I like it so much I think I'll paint mine. Oh wait, maybe I did paint mine...

Calling the Good Taste Police. You can never find a cop when you need one :mad0259:

I did radius bushes for GM for SEMA in September of 2008 ;)

Just wanted to make sure you saw this week's update from showstopper on it. What do you think of the new look of the hood?

und mit diesem ZL1 fascia;
