On Camaros I like the cowl induction hoods better than the SS hoods, but that's just me.

go with the sunoco hood if you want a cowl or the 3" cowl that CRIMSON BIRD^^^ has on his camaro (i believe its called the aero 3" cowl) he just posted in a hood thread with pics of the hood so check that out...both of those hoods have a more rounded appearance..IMO i think cowls really dont look good on camaros the hard lines and square look just doesnt flow with the lines of the car..but the sunoco looks perfect on it..i think most will agree..its ur choice but i think a 4" cowl is to much

The 4" cowl is a bit to much imho but a 3" cowl would be okay. The 3" SS is sweet I like and might get one during the winter.




These are pics of members on here btw!

^^^ I agree, if you're gonna have a 4 inch cowl hood then you need the cajones to back up the appearance of the ride. That sunoco hood looks badass!

well i've been thinking about it a little bit lately (dun dun dunnnnn). And I've decided that Camaro's (4th generation) are widely neglected in most car magazines that I read. the only hood unique to the 4th gen is the SS teardrop style hood. So I think that I will be going with that style, yes my car is not an SS but like I said, it's unique to the 4th gen style. Any thoughts?
