Camaro SS hood

**thirdavesav** · 03-03-2010, 04:59 PM

I found someone who is selling their 98' Camaro SS hood for a good price, and I just wanted to see if anyone knows if it will go on my 00' Z-28 with no problem. I have always wanted the SS hood with the scoop because of the aggressive look. Right on for the info.

Shouldn't have any problems. Just keep in mind if it is an aftermarket one it may not fit perfect. But it will still fit.

It should fit good.

If it is original ss hood will fit perfect. I got one on mine fits with no problms. If it's aftermarket fits okay but u will have clearence problems n u r not gonna like it. Cuz I bought 2 b4 the one I g
have now n it was da samething.
They both look the same. Bt u have to spend time to make it fit right.
Same with ss wing dnt buy it after market cuz it harder to make it fit I spnt the whole day workin on I n still didn't fit. I paid $160 for it. I sold it for $200 lol n I bought a original used slp ss wing for 250. It was worth it

I bought the ss hood this weekend(it is an aftermarket), and there was a couple little holes and a crack which can be filled. I still have to cut the hood scoop open to make it functional, put some filler, re-primer it, paint it, then put on clear coat, and hopefully it will be worth all the work because I didnt want to spend the money on a factory hood.

Oh yeah and I have to bring it to a shop to get it aligned and fitted right, damn, hope this is worth the time and money.

local had it for 600 with spoiler. both white already. matched up pretty well imo.

Yeah that looks perfect on your maro, did it come with the grille piece because I cant really see it from the picture? How does that grille piece stay on because im planning on buying one after I have the scoop cut open to make it functional. I haven't got the chance to see it up close on an SS hood and I'm wondering if it is tape or glue that keeps the grille piece in.

You mean the grille on the hood scoop? I believe it clips in there. Never really looked too closely at mine...

**thirdavesav** · 03-09-2010, 12:01 PM

Yeah the grille on the hood scoop, I was wondering how it stays in place?

I would like to find one for my Z/28 already painted like you did. I like the SS hood better plus the only really bad paint on my car is the chips in the hood.

it came with the stock black plastic grill. i never checked what holds it though. but i lucked out big time with the pieces painted.
