I agree with Marty, looks awesome. I like the chin spoiler, it really gives the car attitude.

I just have to pick up some hood pins, attach my fender braces, change the oil and we should be good for the spring.

Beautiful Camaro. Who makes the hood? It looks like a fine quality piece.

Very sweet. Like seeing those 2nd gens.

Thanks, I love the way the hood turned out.

I can't wait for the question "Is that paint?" Yup, bought it at Canandian Tire! Right next to the checkered paint.

Do you have to run hood pins? Do they have a front latch provision? Its just that it looks so clean without them. Please dont take offence, just my opinion. The paint came out beautiful! Did you have to use any special clear? I know that you said earlier that you were worried about the clear coat on the carbon fiber and the clear you were going to shoot on the car might react. Obviously it didnt , it looks great.

Yeah, it does and I am using the hood latch. The hood looks raised in the corners, not saying it's the hood. My bodyman told me that the fenders had been removed and not aligned perfectly.

We used an ordinary automotive clear. Although the hood came with a uv resistant clear we recleard so I could wet sand the stripes. I have heard of Yellowin and needing buffing or wet sanding but the Camaro will be garage stored.
