taht 3inch one in teh first pic looks sick in my opinion. Sleek and not too gaudy. Still flows with the classic lines of the camaro. Id pick the 3inch.

Have you ever sat in a car with a 5 inch Moran hood? if you did you would eliminate it for any thing short of race car use only.

I'd like to see some clearer pics of the 5'' cowl. IMO the first is to small. It should've come on the Z28s stock-it looks good as a stocker. But I wouldn't go that route if I were looking for something aftermarket to stand out.

The Harwood looks good. I don't think the other one makes sense unless you wanna run the truck intake. lol

Harwood hood, that morgan hood is a bit much for a DD. You cant go wrong with 3in it will definately make u stand out.

If your worried about weight, that Harwood weighs close to 40lbs. You can get a Sunoco bolt on that's 25lbs or a pin on at 13-15lbs. I would not go with a Moran hood on a street car, last I knew they didn't even make a bolt on version.

I've seen the harwood in person and they look really good. 5" would be way to much to drive every day. even the harwood would take a little getting used too.

Bump for the Sonoco hood. Not to small, and not to big.

I had the LT1 version of the harwood on my camaro and it did take a little getting used to, 5" would be downright hard to drive if you ask me. The harwood was great quality and looks sharp.
