http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages Go to this link and search chevy camaro, then yrs 1998-2002 you will find plenty, but go with the Zo6 wheels they look much better I think. Thats what I have.

thnx- bought the hood straight from the company last year- wasnt sure what the quality was gonna be like considering price- but i must say i was really impressed- my body shop was too considering the price-
if u want i have pics of what it comes like straight out of box- and some fitment pictures
may help ur decision- ohh and the company is pretty good to deal with- always answered my emails and even sent me a new receipt for my salvage inspection- 3 months later

So you bought the hood from a Chevrolet dealer? Post some more pics of your car. I just bought some Y2K wheels, what size tire do I buy. 17" in front, 18" in back. Thanks

Re: Y2K C5 Wheels on a 02 Z28?
if ur referring to me - the hood came from Fiberglass Fabricators INC..
hood out of box pic 1
hood out of box pic 2
hood fitment 1
hood fitment 2
those are some hi-res pix of what it looked like straight from box then bolting up to factory hinges without adjusting. the left side sat about 1/8" high and right 1/8" low- but with some tweaking it was nearly perfect- also my front bumper cover is the 60$ special off ebay so fitment would be better on stock
in case u wonder what those look like heres some pics
bumper 1
bumper 2
bumper 3
bumper 4
as for my Y2k's the originals are 17" up front and 18" in back- i decided to go with 18x9.5" all around on all 4-
for my tires im running 275-40-18 - i would recomend going with a 35 sidewall just so your speedo is accurate but i dont like low pro tires so went with the widest i could- still no rubbing- in the spring im bumping my rears to a 295 tire- ohh and currently they are Nitto 555's on the back and Khumo Ecsta's on the front-
and to finish this post off more pics of my car can be found here
Pictures of winter beater- and rebuild
if u want any hi-res shots of those let me know i have the hi-res pics on my computer and can throw up on my webserver-

hope all that info helps

Are there any carbon fiber hoods for the f-body? Have you seen anyone with a silver camaro w/ black top and black hood? I wonder what that would look like?

Re: Y2K C5 Wheels on a 02 Z28?
So, I should have no problem with 275 40 R18s in the rear? And Is 245 45 R17 good for the front? Why are the front tires bigger ( 45 as to 40 ) than the rear? Isnt that the corvette stock tires? Thanks for the help.
I have the wheels, I just need to find some tires.
