Default Hood Decisions???

ok so i have been saving up slowly to purchase a new hood and spoiler come spring time...i have already decided on the LS1 SS spoiler...not much of a suprise haha...but i cant make up my mind about the hood...it has come down to the LT1 SS hood or the Harwood 2.5" cowl...both look amazing in my opinion which is why i cant make up my mind by the way i drive an 1995 Arctic White Camaro...all opinions are welcome and feel free to cast ur vote

I used to have a boner for the SS style hoods but realised many years ago they are not as good as a CAI, and I dont need the room. I voted for Harwood. NOW if you do a LS1 SS rear spoiler, that would be ****.

I realize you're trying to decide between the SS and Harwood cowl, but I always thought a 3" cowl like ASCD made looked pretty damn awesome on LT1's.

Like this one (not my car!) --> http://www.fquick.com/garages/viewga...=1&carid=24554

But between those two, I'd go with the SS hood.

LT1 SS hood looks amazing... lower the car (if you havnt already) get your spoiler and SS hood and it will look amazing.

And if you should decide to go with the cowling hood those look good too

Have you considered the harwood cowl with ram air intake? I'd vote for that.
The SS hood is way too overused. You'd practically be doin an SS exterior conversion.
Keep it with the Z. Go harwood.

I agree with this, you want to stand out when putting a new hood and spiler on your car, I agree with the SS Spoiler but dont get an SS hood, my vote went to the harwood.

im not much of a fan of that hood...i dont like how square it is...i feel like it doesnt complement the lines of the car at all...the harwood cowl hood i was referring to was the 2.5" one thats wide and has more of a rounded appearence...similar to the sunoco but wider

Oh so true if you are talking LS1 cars. But, how often do you see an LT1 SS...I would also suggest considering the VFN 3" SS hood. That is what is going on my car as soon as it is finished being painted.

i considered that hood but the way i look at it is that 3" hood scoop is huge and it gives off the appearence that my car is much faster that it really is haha...if you kno wut i mean...giant hoods look great and all but i would only put that on if i knew my car could back it up...im just a basic bolt on LT1 haha...that hood does look badass tho

It really depends on what wheels etc. If you are running skinnys up front go cowl. If you have 9.5s on all 4 go with the SS.
