ZL1 hood options - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm a bit confused on the "hood options" for the ZL1. Isn't the Carbon insert and the Standard Black insert the same as far as the look of the hood goes?

I think one is exposed and one is not. I think?

The standard ZL1 hood insert is carbon fiber with a black satin paint finish. There will be an OPTIONAL clear coated carbon fiber insert that shows the CF weave pattern.

Ohhhh, ok. Thanks for the clarification. And honestly, I can do without the CF weave pattern. Especially if I'm not doing a CF theme for the car. Though.....the CF weave hood and painted CF hood and trunk stripe to match would be the cat's a$$$$$$!

AND...there will be a stripe option....

Does any one know if you do not get the stripe option, will the hood be the color of the vehicle with either a black or clear coated carbon fiber insert. Will the hood have a blacked out midsection extending from the carbon insert back the windshield??? Any thoughts would be appreciated

If you don't get the stripe, the hood will be black or carbon fiber if you select that option. At least that is what I was told.

The options are:

B92 = hood, carbon fiber
DSW = decal package, carbon fiber appearance
DSX = decal package low gloss

Standard is hood with black matte painted carbon fiber insert
B92 is hood with carbon fiber insert
DSW is carbon fiber appearance stripes to go with carbon fiber hood
DSX is black matte stripes to go with standard black painted carbon fiber insert

My suggestion is for you to please disclose your reference source....so that there is no confusion tomorrow morning for those who are ordering....none of this information has been disseminated before at least that I can recall.

Its on the quick order. My source is the quick order sheet that I did with my dealer this afternoon. The "carbon fiber appearance" is subjective, as it is probably just a grey stripe, but I worded it exactly word for word off the quick order
