Exclamation opinions wanted please!

well saturday my car got hit in a parking lot while i was in a store and well the hood is ruined so as long as we're repainting it me and my dad decided we should throw on a new hood, the carnage is ugly and i cant force myself to take pics but i want your opinons, i'm likin either the VFN sunoco hood, the VFN 3"ss hood or the VFN 4" regular cowl, im kinda undecided on which to go with, all are right around the same price tho and we figured as long as the insurance company is paintin the car might as well go with another hood so lets hear the opinions, i'm puttin up a poll too. just remember i have a lt1 lol

here's the link to vfn's website by the way to see the different hoods, remember 93-97 lt1 lol http://www.vfnfiberglass.com/932001camaro.htm

Sorry but for an LT1 my vote goes to the Harwood cowl:



If not the Harwood then the normal SS hood as a FAR second and Sunoco cowl as a close third...

this is really close between the sunoco hood and the 3"ss between this poll and 3 others on different sites, both have their own special qualities and both have their downfalls, all input is appreciated and giving your perspective helps

Really good looking hoods in their, kind of like a variation of the ultra-z hood without the scoop and cheaper but those are some good looking hoods.

I think thats the best damn looking hood for an LT1 Z28 period.

Peace,

The Sunoco hood would be the best for that... On a Harwood I think that would look goofy...
