Default PLEASE HELP! Need to pick a direction (hood) for my car...

DISCLAIMER
Please give me any and all comments (negative included) EXCEPT, "It's your car do what you like..."

I like a lot of styles and respect the opinons of a lot of you guys and sometimes your comments open my eyes to something I didn't see.

Hence that scoop is going back (the fact it showed up in poor condition didn't help) and I may keep the Halos So here we go... ON WITH THE POST!

__________________________________________________ ____________


Ok, that piece of **** scoop is going back... but now I am back to trying to pick a hood...

I am basically torn in TWO directions...

One is for whatever reason (probably because they look CLEAN and FACTORY like) recently I REALLY like the look of the Berger cars:



It must have always been there subconsciously because my car was heading that direction:



I already have the rims, grill and body colored mirrors (just had that done SINCE the above picture) so I would need SS hood (with single stripe down the car and satin insert) and SS spoiler...

Only problem is I already have this spoiler on the way:



So to look like the Berger cars I would probably sell the Halos (see new pics below), go back to Whistler headlights, sell the above spoiler and get a SS Hood and Spoiler and the car would have a single black (or GUNMETAL GREY stripe).

OR I COULD KEEP THE SPOILER AND HEADLIGHTS AND GET ONE OF THESE HOODS:

ZL1 Hood



3" SS Hood



Harwood Cowl



Sunoco Cowl WITH Center Body Line



Sunoco Cowl WIHTOUT Center Body Line (smooth center)



Traditional Cowl



Smooth Semi-Traditional Cowl





Again, here's my car as it sits (actually, my clear/black housing turn signals weren't in the second shot):





SO SHOULD I GO BERGER STYLE (SS Hood and Spoiler) or say SCREW THAT, and be get one of the above hoods???

Which look do you think is best? Should I keep the ZR28 spoiler or do the 98+ SS spoiler with it? I kind of like them all and can't pick a winner....

If not Berger I am leaning (for tonight at least) towards Sunoco with NO body line ....

Yeah, I am liking the Sunoco more and more because it is a good balance...

It's NOT the normal SS hood BUT it also was used on cool "dealer" Camaros...

Just my opinion, but keep the halos, go with the SS spoiler, and one of two hood choices (the CWK Cowl or the ZL1) I wouldnt go for the total Berger look as it isnt a true Berger car. Thats just what Id do if it were mine though. Good luck with it and nice ride!

Yeah, it's the hood Chris (Whistler) designed and then Harwood copied...

If Chris' hood didn't exist I would like the Harwood, BUT his hood is just SO MUCH better looking I can't really bring myself to the the Harwood...

Harwood Cowl, then if you can get that spoiler you posted first molded I think it'd look great... OR get an LT1 SS spoiler

Well, it's decided. I am keeping the ZR28 spoiler and getting the Sunoco hood...

Either WITH the body line which will be sanded down some, or WITHOUT the body line and I'll have a small one added.

I LOVE the look of it WITHOUT best but the line coming from the center of the bumper stopping at the hood will bug me....

Sides of the scoop will be SATIN black similar to these:
