Default SS owners that switched hoods get in here

Any regrets??? I am thinkin about gettin a VFN Sunoco without the line.... mine has a fresh coat of paint on it *from rock chips* and this POS shop messed it up somehow and they refuse to fix it so it has bubbles down at the bottom close to where it meets the bumper... So as I said... any regrets?

No experience with it, but I think SS hood looks way better than sunoco

im not a big fan of that ss hood.... i dont like how it just drops off. if they blended the scoop into the hood and had it taper off slightly and not so sudden

The SS hood does NOT look better than the sunoco IMO. This guy's **** was done right!

I've been thinking about going with the Sunoco but I'll probably end up doing that later.

If i had a z-28 i would go with a sunoco hood, But since i have the ss i really like the hood and think it makes the car.

i traded my SS hood for a Sunoco, but the car isn't done. i haven't really seen it on the car...so i can't say. i don't think i regret it though. i wish i would have kept the SS hood and just bought the Sunoco, but...oh well...it's not like OEM SS hoods are in short supply.
