I would agree....just the other day a huge chunk of ice under my wipers, at my cowl, on my '96 Z71 slid forward when I was doing 65 on the freeway.....FORWARD! to the bug shield. Then a second did also.......something to be said about the old cowl cold air induction.

Now the HHR is more rounded to let the air go around the car I believe.....a hood scoop could create the slam effect at the windshield again.

 

Me likey and me want. Where is this guys SS parked in Virginia? I wonder if he would notice if I swapped my stock hood for his? LOL

Someone do a group buy and GET US THIS HOOD.

 

Key word..BugShield..it routes the air high over the roof, takes the air off the windshield...thats how bugs are reduced...bugshields really screw up the airflow..ask anyone who had them and what it did to the wipers at highway speeds...they lift away from the glass.
If you really want to see whats happening at the windshield on these cars, throw some rain-ex on it and watch the water patterns..they roll about a 45 deg towards the pillars..i only use wipers now in slow traffic, even in heavy rain, which seems to be the norm here, no wipers ..the nose area does a good job on the aerodynamics.

 

Wonder if Dave ever stops by anymore ? *****in bug shield.

 

I think you will like this one Woody........

 

Looks good on a truck! Kinda clunky for an SS..

 

Any reduction in visibility? Some style hoods block view of the passenger side front fender corner.

 

You can see the front fenders??
