I have yet to see one in person.
exactly, i have only seen one in person since it came out and i remember seeing when they came out on here. i dont understand people going there everywhere dont get it or its the new ss hood get somthing else

my vote goes to sunoco but that traditional 2 3/4" cowl looks pretty good too

I just put my Sunoco on and damn is looks good. Almost a perfect fit without even drilling out the hood hinges. Will post pictures soon. Now I just have to get the damn thing painted but it doesn't look too bad since i have a black car.

how about the Suncoast Z style hood. that's what I'm wearing and i love it. it's a little different and you don't see it that often at all and it looks good. i get compliments over it all the time. it's function ram air and has heat vents out the back of the hood. i do rub just a little on my SLP air lid but not enough to hurt anything and other than that it fits great and bolts right on like the stock hood.

Putting in my vote for an Ultra Z to be different. I love mine. Looks good and functional. I do like the look of the sunoco also just see too many of them.

How hard is it to swap hoods real quick? I'm thinking of getting a sunoco but want to keep my stock SS one for when I get bored of that look. Is it alot of work to align?

the ultra z really does look good when its painted right, j&j and joker both look good! joker your antenna looks bent and i think a grill and smoked corners would really complete your car

Default Vfn 3" Ss Hood

My hood is the 3" SS hood from VFN. i like it because not to many people have it that i know of. i have never seen any in person that has it, plus its tough looking and gets everyones attention. thats my choice. check on my car domain site for pictures. my car is also on the VFN website at the bottom of the 93-02 camaro parts catalog check it out http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3061716
