I like the hood greatly but I would be concern about safety in case of an accident. I don't see from the inside but there has to be somekind of a locking system to prevent the hood entering the car through the windshield in case of a frontal accident.

I would also check in with the insurance company to make shure the set-up in legal to them.

Those a question that I'm asking myself, but I would surely love to have it on my baby.

In my opinion it just looks completely out of place on the Camaro. The hood is too pointed on the end to reverse-open. It doesnt look right.
