On my way to work I saw one of these:

with this hood: painted white. It looked stock, sounded stock, except for the hood. coming up behind me I initially thought it was a civic.

I think it’s just a plastic insert. I was actually looking at a set for my C5 vette. Too much heat under the hood after getting milk.

Didn’t spend too much time looking for one. First one I found under “hood vent”

I suppose that person had same thought.

My guess: It was in an accident and that hood was cheaper than the OEM

no accounting for taste. back in high school I saw a couple of Camaros running around with this silly thing:

as if anyone is going to say “Hey, nice Ferrari, man!”

it was definitely more than an insert. the center section of the hood was a few inches taller than the rest of the hood, much more than normal

I have never seen that before. its not a bad style except for trying to suggest a rear engine. must make for a nice blind spot.

The Firebird GTA had a notchback

1988 MY only, plagued with issues in fabrication, a fraction of the promised units were delivered.

this was worse, these were fake Testarossa engine covers. people actually paid money and put them on their Camaros.

Oh I know, I was just pointing out somewhat of a production anomaly somewhat analogous to the TestaMaro

Just trying anything to make a boring beater interesting?

I thought that too, but it sounded pretty stock.

Not sleeper made to look like a sleeper but actually stock

oddly I don’t hate it...does look like a Civic but that’s an improvement over what is one of the most nondescript cars on the road.

it looked significantly more boring than that black one. it still ahd stock wheels and all.
