Believe it or not, I just figured out what this hood (and the one for RX-7s) is based on. A Porsche GT1 hood.

Just because it has heat extractors? In that case it looks like every other race car out there including the C6R

I think whoever created that hood missed the mark for the Camaro. The Camaros lines especially LT1's make it hard to do anything really exotic. That hood would look great on certain cars but as it is it doesnt match up well with the Camaro. If you like that style and had the money to have it custom made I'd move the extractor back some, away from the scoop then straighten them out some instead of having them at a angle. I still look foward to how the complete project will look. He may just pull it off and everything match up or he could miss terribly.

I don't come here to look at Jun Supras or people that bought Camaros intending to build them into Civic look-alikes.
