So, no additional cost for painting?

Any plans to make the scoop functional?

Thanks!

It will be functional....this is just the mold

No painting because it is IMPOSSIBLE to paint match from across the country

SO IT IS NOT real carbon fiber at only $100 price point ? Y/n

I say this knowing I will buy the fiberglass mould

Cmlloveless · 09-10-2009, 09:20 PM

Well I would give you my info except that mold looks nothing like the actual bumblebee hood! They missed the mark completly! You are right about the sides needing to slope a lot more! That cowl looks like a box! The bumblebee hood does not have those sharp edges and corners on it at all! It also does not have the line infront of the cowl from the tip either! Doesn't look like you guys really looked at the bumblebee hood when making this mold! I think i will wait to see the finished product before I commit to buy!

Dang... I was so excited too!

Cmlloveless · 09-10-2009, 09:25 PM

I take it back... Now that I have looked at that mold and the pics of the bumblebee hood they r not very ar off! The sides need to be slanted a bit more and the line in front of the cowl removed and it would look a lot closer.... I think maybe once it is finished and painted that it might look ok!

LOL i was about to say....what Bumblebee hood u lookin at!

I agree on the sides that's why i had them make reisions...

I appreciate the input though....i mean you guys r going to be buying these so

ANY input is welcome!

Cmlloveless · 09-10-2009, 09:38 PM

Srry, one more thing... The the top edge off where the slot will be is not a straight line, it is slightly contoured (rounded, angled, etc) to match the shape of the front of the camaro!

orange10s.c. · 09-10-2009, 09:45 PM

I think it's gonna look great when it's finished. Great job!!!

YoungMedic23 · 09-10-2009, 10:31 PM

Thanks guys!

It was amazing for my Jeep to have a custom hood after waiting for 2 years!

You guys are lucky!!!
