Do any of you '14-'15 guys have this RKSport hood? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Some worthless pos left a nice 2' long scratch in the vinyl on my hood. I haven't decided whether to just rewrap it or to buy a new hood. I'm not seeing many options available for us '14-'15 guys though. The only ones I've seen that I like are either the OEM hood in carbon fiber or maybe this RKSport Ram Air hood (p/n 40012100). If I go with that one, I would probably have it painted the same flat black as my current hood. I would like to see some pics though if anyone else has it.

I was going to go this route but went with Carbon Creations as they are local, but through my research I hear this is the besting fitting 14-15 aftermarket hood out there.

Ive been contemplating a new hood or the wrap, whats the cost differences in either
option?

I wrapped my complete hood in gloss black myself. About $50 for some quality vvivid vinyl and about 2 hours. if you have the time I would just wrap it.

I don't care for the shape/style. Fixing the existing hood is easier than replacing the hood and it'll appeal to more people when you decide to sell. Or just unwrap your hood.
2 cents.

I would just re-wrap it. People have no respect for other peoples property!!!

jrob56 · 10-04-2018, 11:09 AM

Where was the scratch at? I always thought it would be cool to selectively remove the wrap. Like leave the raised middle wrapped and remove sides or vice versa. Could be a short term option anyway.

J Rod · 10-04-2018, 11:20 AM

Thanks for the info. I would be keeping my stock hood so I can always put it back to stock if I sell the car. I didn't really care for the RK hood at first but it's growing on me, I'd love to see it on a dark colored car. Might have to enlist some photoshop help from my coworker.

I don't think that would be possible in my case. It starts on the right middle and goes all the way left across the heat extractor and down towards the front middle.

Here is a different viewing angle for that red Camaro with the Ram Air Hood. We also have some different viewing angles on that product's page here. All the images are for that red Camaro. I hope this helps!
