I think anything would be better than that hood. Pardon my bluntness, but I just don't care for it. Now a Sunoco.........

I like the Sunoco better, but the 3" SS looks good on your car. If you had a set of ten spokes or something I'd say get rid of it.

i think he does pretty well at backing it up. the sunoco is one of my favorite hoods but the 3 inch ss looks mean on your car

keep the 3" ss hood, looks mean! from some of the pics though looks like it could use some work on the alignment.
