MDP Z Force Hood or TSW Wheels - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm trying to decide what mods to get for my car next im between a Z force hood or TSW Nurburgring Matte Bronze wheels. My car is Inferno Orange w/ black stripes. If i get the wheels itll cost around 1400-1500 and my current tires have plenty of life on them so i would just mount them.
If i get the hood im looking at closer to 2grand to have it painted orange and the hood (and trunk) stripes painted on. Any input would be great in the long run i will probably do both i just cant choose which to do first! This is a daily driver that i will take to the track here and there. Thanks

IMO Wheels come first. Especially the TSW's!

I'd say go with the hood. Eric from MPD is extremely backed up right now on orders so more than a month to receive it at this time (per my experience) so if you want to wait go for the hood. The stock wheels are nice as they are IMO.

Hood.

Coming up on 4 weeks since I ordered my Z-force from Eric. He told me 5 weeks on delievery, getting excited. I already had custom wheels so I guess I would say wheels first then hood which is what I did.

Coming up on SIX WEEKS since i ordered my z-force hood

NjSpeed · 04-12-2012, 08:39 PM

ouch 6 weeks is a long time but.. it is a hell of a nice looking hood my issue would be waiting that long then another week or so to have it painted. i guess good things come to those who wait tho.. still not sure which way to go rims or hood

Go with the hood, MPD hoods are AMAZING! I loved the one they have for the G6 and will probably be getting one of theirs for my Camaro.

IMO stock wheels aren't that bad, unless your looking to be a dragster and have other needs thus wheels can wait.

The first mod i have done to all my cars is window tint followed shortly afterwards by new wheels. IMO they make the car. I did not have my car for one week before i put the CCW's on.

Usually first mod is window tint, especially us living in FL.

Anyway I'm not a big fan of aftermarket flashy wheels so normally for me they are the last thing on the list unless I find an amazing deal on wheels I couldn't live without type thing. To each his own

I also just received my MPD Z-Force hood. Took about 6 weeks to get delivered. The shop installing it cannot stop raving about the high quality of construction and the fact that it was nearly completly pre-prepped for install. Pics by Monday if anyone's interested!

mikepage0007 · 04-13-2012, 08:24 AM
