Default Tell me whatcha think, boys..

I'm looking for some opinions on what I should do...
Seems I got myself into a fender-bender this afternoon, and I'm going to need to replace the hood on my Z28. The question is whether or not I should stick with getting a stock hood for about $100 or upgrade myself to the one below (on the left) for $450. I can't make up my mind because it all comes down to money...go figure. I'm also trying to replace my driver-side side mirror and get an SS Spoiler at the same time...so they can paint all the **** at once.
Let me know what ya'll think I should do and even if the hood would be a good look for me (my car's pewter and I'd paint it that color)...I can't make up my mind about it.

that hood is hideous. If you get an SS spoiler. I'd get an SS hood. If you stick w the stock spoiler. I'd get a stock hood.

You kinda put my first thoughts into words. I wasn't sure if it was me or if I should have an open mind and try new things...some people say it looks mean and sexy...I guess it isn't then?

SS hood with a manta would look awesome on that car. Don't know what it is about pewter and manta-SS hoods.
