I'm a bit biased.. Currently saving up for the UltraZ hood. There are an assload of SS hoods out there..

I'll either get the UltraZ or a Cowl hood..

I like the Ultra Z hood even though I sold mine for a Glasstek SS pin on hood. I just wanted to save weight though.

I like the SS one better, I think the Ultra Z hood is ugly... looks like some kind of animal but dont know what. But I guess I'm outnumbered

The VFN SS hood is PIMP. Take a look at it. The scoop is much taller than a stock ss hood. Thats prolly the one I will get. Plus at 25lbs for a bolton it is light.

I think it looks like the open mouth of a giant mantaray. I personally like the SS hood, but the Ultra Z is nice-looking too.

Everyone i know with the Ultra Z hood says its much more functional then the SS because of its location. Trus there are a ton of SS hoods out there but as far as looks I like them better the Ultra Z looks like a Elephant or something. I would go with a cowl if you do not care about the bit of forced air you get.

both hoods are nice. but one advantage of the ultra z hood in my opinion is HP. if you got a cold air kit like the K&N fipk or the volant cold air system, the ultra z hood is perfect for them.

just my opinion

If you want to stay original go with the SS hood. If you want to be different go with the Ultra Z Hood. The Ultra hood gives you the ram air effect of the Ws6 hood.

I only like the ultraZ hood on some colors, mainly white and red. I dont like it on black. Thats why ill be going SS or Harwood 3" cowl.

I've never been a fan of the Ultra Z hood. But then again, I'm weird.
