lol i was joking about the 8 inch cowl...huge cowl always look mean but overdone and rated to me...kinda gay now...

harwood hodd looks like a cowl hood but also differant with more flowing look to sleek so it wont stick out over you other mods it just blends and has a nice appeal....

DO NOT buy this hood from Summit Racing..I had four come to my house, all four went back either damaged or junk to begin with. Get it from somewhere else.

I bought an ASCD cowl hood, VERY high finish quality.

I agree that most LT1 hood look outdated or somewhat all the same for one simple reason, the lines. The LT1's lines and dont allow for anything extreme. It has a old skool shape so the styling seems old skool.

The underside of that Harwood hood is amazing. Friend of mine has it on his 95 and damn it is slick under the hood.

My favorite hood on LT1-style Camaros has always been the 96-97 SS hood. I like it better than the LS1 SS hood. I'm not a big fan of aftermarket hoods on F-Bodies anyway, GM did pretty well with the SS/WS6 hoods.

I have yet to see something that looks better than an SS hood with manta stripes.

Nothing beats that.

It depends...
And its also somewhat opinionated.

I like the 4" Cowl hood myself, much better than the Ultra Z.
The big block hood and OEM SS hood look good too, but I woudnt say there is a "best".
It depends on the look of your car, whats its used for (drag or street) and so on.
