Hood recommendations?

Do they make any aftermarket metal hoods. Kinda didn’t want fiberglass.

What's wrong with carbon fiber? Much lighter in weight and has a cool weaved texture finish to it.

To be honest, I don't know..... I haven't seen one.

The stock camaro hood is made out of aluminum, so even if your swapping for a Carbon fiber, your not loosing that much weight.

If your going to swap your hood, your going to be looking at fiberglass, and carbon fiber.
