Default Which hood should I get for my Z?

Hey everyone. I am getting more into weight reduction and also more into making my car stand out as it's own unique car. So my next big step is to get a fiberglass hood. However, I am terminally indecisive and cannot figure out which one to get. So here is my car and here are the options from which to choose. Help me out here.

Here's my car as it is:


And here are the options:
1. Wide cowl/Mike Moran hood.


2. VFN Sunoco hood


3. VFN 3" SS/cowl hood


4. VFN 4" cowl hood


5. Ultra Z hood


Please pick your preferred hood. My car, basically, is all black, no badges, no molding, black billet grille, dropped a little in front (raked stance), will have a '98-'02 SS spoiler, Corsa exhaust w. Premium tips, stainless inserts, and is now sporting 17"x9" GM original silver ZR1's with black calipers. Hope that helps you get an idea of the whole car. I want to keep the car smooth, simple, yet evil and intimidating as f*ck. Choose accordingly. Thank you.

All are good choices, but I would go with number 1 as my first choice and number 5 second...

Thanks everyone. I meant to make this a poll but I'm retarded...oops. I liked #1 personally, and #3 as well. I never liked #5 for the longest time but it's grown on me. Please keep it up.

You can't always see it but there is a stainless grill on mine instead of the cheap black plastic one SLP uses.

I say #1. I've always loved that hood. It's subtle, yet looks great.

i like the wide cowl, with your setup i would go with that. that 4'' cowl looks pretty badass but you have to have a straight drag setup for that to look right. so get the wide one..
