I would go with the Cowl Hood, I think they look sweet on a F-body, but most people will probally tell you the Ultra Z hood. A nice subtle 2" cowl would be real nice. Good Luck

Definitely the Zstyle. It's not that common, and probably the best looking one imo..

I think the Mecham 4port is awesome, but have heard their quality is poor and the I don't like the actually design of the intake part of it. I say Suncoast Z-style, that's what's on my list as well!!!

The Ultra-Z REALLY helps keeping the IATs down.

Ultra Z. I don't think I've ever seen a white one. That would look AND work awesome. I love mine.

That hood looks mean...I like it...great job on the paint. Is it functional. You would think that a "WS6" hood would look out of place on a Camaro but that looks great.

Yup its kinda functional. the nostrils are open, but I have the FTRA. so the openings offer more cooling, But I likes the way it looks.

I like mecham's hood. Though some say they have fitment problems, but if you can do it yourself, I say get it! Stuff is easy to fix...
