Okay the car is a 2000 Z/28.

-17x11/9.5 ZR1's (might be changed to TTII eventually)
-black, will have a fresh paint job come spring
-SS spoiler will be added before paint job, OEM style
-BLACK halo headlights.
-possibly new taillights.. i really dont like the stock ones.. i want something a bit more crisp and clean
- half smoked/ half clear side markers
- not sure about lowering yet
- billet grille, no badges anywhere, Stainless steel CAMARO rear lettering
- no nose emblem, fender emblems or rear emblems

-Hood?... tough decision

I would say either vfn sunoco, or 3 inch ss for sure, I picked the 3 inch ss, because its probably the rarest of those three hoods, and looks just as badass as the sunoco. forget the harwood one, its too wide

I wish i could see more pictures of the 3" SS hood... i just cant tell if it is too gaudy or not.

As far as the harwood being too wide.. the wideness is exactly what i like about it.

the wideness of the Harwood hood doesn't give it a very clean look, and if your unsure about the 3 inch ss hood, then get the Sunoco, theres a lot of pics on this site of that hood, and it is, by far, the best looking, aside from the regular ss hood, for Camaros. I am sure most will agree with me on that. Plus VFN has a great reputation of good fit and quality, I highly recommend getting the Sunoco hood. Fit is just really important to me, which is why I chose the OEM SS hood...nothin fits better

H/C package is going on as soon as i get out to A/Z... dont worry my friend

I absolutely love the wide cowl and i think it flows awesome, but i believe ive heard bad things about the fitment... but i only saw it in one thread and one car. Otherwise harwood is a great brand.

I don't want the OEM SS hood, don't get me wrong its f*$^ing gorgeous but i want something different. And I'm thinking the 3inch might be too gawdy so it's between the sunoco w/ no body line and the harwood. With either of those hoods im keeping my ZR1's.. i was gonna ditch them if i got the 3inch SS.

Is it me or does that sunoco look like it doesnt fit right?.. maybe its just that its no painted. This decision is almost as hard as trying to decide between a Turbo Forged 347 or S/C 396... heh..

I'm going for a very clean look but also a very ballsy look... Whatever will look good with tall slicks
