Anvil 2nd gen Camaro hood

[ANVIL1]

OK, I need everyone's help here with some decisions. We're sorting out a repop hood to fit and wondering if we should; A) just make a stock hood in carbon fiber (with a little tweaking to the grill so it is cut out with 2 vent holes backed up with the same aluminum hexagonal grill as our frist gen cowl panels) or B) add the L-88 style scoop with tweaks to it to conform to the lines of the hood better (like flare it out from a top view to match the angle of the lines on the hood) or C) make the stock style with provisions to accept the L-88 or other style scoops like the air extractor pictured as separate bolt on pieces? I guess the real question is, does anybody want a stock style cf hood with no whistles and bells?

Best, MaTT

Although I don't have a 2nd Gen, that's what I'd want, a 2" cowl.

Agreed!

Also, I need other panels in CF, too. I gotta get the weight down.

Thanks for the feedback........so far.
Although I don't mind a 2" cowl hood, I think the styling belongs on the first gen inwhich it was originally designed for. If you look at the design language of the second gen, it is much more about softer compound curves, while the fist gen has harder corners. The straight, relatively slab sided cowl induction just looks a little out of place on the second gen car. I think that a more curvelinear version could work with the sides flared out towards the rear from a top view to match the lines of the hood. I was intending to modify the L-88 to go along with the hood better, but everyone seems so against it, I don't think I will even entertain that idea now.
If we go with a stock style hood, I was thinking of cutting out the vents and making them a 1 or 2 opening affair backed up with a hexagonal mesh like our first gen cowl panel. Would people rather have that, or just smooth over the vent holes altogether?
We are working on some sketches which I will post tomorrow.

Thanks again,
MaTT

We are making the deck lid, rear filler panel, rear spoiler and front nose piece in carbon fiber. I plan on making the nose piece a one piece deal that has the RS look, but can use the standard grill. I may, however, make it in 2 pieces, so that people can choose either the RS lower valance or standard in case they want to use the lower turn signal openings as brake cooling ducts or have turn signals in them and put driving lights in the RS turn signal locations.
We are also planning on some interior parts like the A pillar moldings and interior windshield header molding as well as the upper door panel moldings. We are also working on a customizable center console.
Would love to hear feedback on any of these parts or other requests.
PS, we will make a cf front spoiler, but will make it in a way where it won't be as vulnerable to breakage. I believe this is a big issue when buying a part that costs more than a stock plastic unit.

Thanks, MaTT
