i can't decide what hood to get! it's driving me nuts!! problem is, i like all of them!!

i was originally going with the sinister hood, and after talking to the owner of pfyc.com at C5 Fest in AZ, i was sold. now i just saw the MPD-1 Z Force and love the higher cowl on it, along with the ram air opening. i also like the ZL1 hood cause no modifications to the bumper or hood need to be made. the last one i'm digging (and cheapest cause i can achieve the look with just buying inserts and installing on my stock hood) is the TF3 bumblebee hood.

My luck Ill drive down get a hood and come back to find that my part guy received one. LOL
It will probably arrive here pretty quick I hope. Seems like everyone is getting them now. I can't paint my bumper until I get it.

Well my buddy and I did the install on my non-rs last night. Went pretty well except I didn't have enough nuts and bolts for the wheel liners so I reused the stock. The non-rs lights do not fit in the drl retainers so I put them in without and it doesn't look right because they sit pretty far back and show the bumper. I might try to drill holes in the retainer or purchase rs lights, I haven't decided. Everything else snapped right into place after the radiator shroud was trimmed! I have tried different looks on my bumper in the past and now it looks how I want it to making it one of my favorite mods yet! I'm doing this from my new iPad but I'll post pics once I'm home!

AT the least, when these parts become available to us, some of the ZL1 owners would stop their whining

jsharp · 03-29-2012, 08:10 PM

i hope. There are tons that are ticked because the parts are being converted. I told them I am not converting to the zl1 I am converting to the transformers 1 car bumper as that is how I fell in love with this car! The hood is just a nice edition which I am also going to go with!

Did some painting today...

Painted the bottom splitter white too..

It's drying overnight.. I'll have it all together tomorrow morning.

jsharp · 03-29-2012, 10:13 PM

I absolutely hate you white camaro guys. That makes for the most bad ass color combo for the zl1 bumper. I lUV IT!
