Re: Carbonfiber Hood Pics
just face it, you have an ugly piece of ****. and most of the people here (and elsewhere ) would probably love to see you run the thing into a pole so you and the car can burn to death.

Re: Carbonfiber Hood Pics
Aight guys, c'mon. Enough with the bashing. It's easy to do what everyone else does to a car and then circle jerk because your cars look the same. Obviously, oneslowz28 doesn't apply to this since he has a lot of stuff that people have never bought (sniper bodykit, black widow hood..). But, even speaking in terms of his car (do NOT take this offensively, as I'm one of the most open minded people to modding a car) the hood and bodykit would be bawked at on most websites, and he'd get flamed just as bad. It's just how it goes. People have a comfort level, some are more comfortable with things than others, and then there's some that are "purists" and can't stand any aftermarket mod on a car (IE: the thread in here asking if indiglo gauges are rice 
) but flatout bashing this guy for doing what he wants to his car isn't cool. Constructive criticism is one thing, but being immature and making fun of his car or telling him to go drive into a pole... grow up and stay off the boards, that type of attitude doesn't belong on a community message board.
Personally, I'll admit, most of the stuff done to the car isn't even my style, and my car is 100% show and no go, but I still couldn't do spinners, celica headlights, supra taillights, etc. If it works for you, if you get awards or recognition and the quality of the work is good, amen to you buddy for having the ***** to do what YOU want to YOUR car. I get **** all the time on other sites because of how my car looks.

I agree that there is no need to be mean about it, but your missing the point.
There are tasteful modifications and there are distasteful modifications.
There are also nice mods that work seperately, but not together.
A fourth gen camaro is a very difficult car to modify asthetically and what works on other cars (carbon hoods, ghetto bling 20" wheels, massive spoilers) definitally does not look good on them.
Kudos to anybody trying something new, but realize that once it's done, if it's ugly, people will call it ugly.

TO THE THREAD STARTER: Do what you want. Some are going to like it and some are going to hate it. Bottom line is they don't drive/see/work on your car everyday. Ignore the personal attacks but kindly acknowledege the constructive critisim and leave it at that. Don't lose sleep or get worked up over others dislike of your style.
As a bodyman I would really like to see some pics of how you made celica lights work. I'm trying to picture it in my head and can't figure out how it would work. If you can do it as easy as you make it sound congrats and you've got a bright future. Good luck with the SS.

Re: Carbonfiber Hood Pics
Remove the 20" emblems, and the 20's. 18 front 19 rear combo is about the most that can be pulled off on these cars and look decent. The hood is kind of iffy, i hope you'll paint it but then you might as well just left your SS hood on. It is your car and maybe i'm a little more conservative than some but get you some nice 18in wheels, paint the hood, lower it and you'll have a good looking SS again.
