Default Help me pick a hood for my thirdgen

I'm having trouble deciding on a hood. I would like something different, but that also flows well with the car's natural body lines. It's a 91 Z28 and some in progress pics are here https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...third-gen.html

A standard cowl is okay, but you always see thirdgens with them.
SS is a possibility.
VFN might be coming out with a sunoco style this spring.
And there is the stock 91-92 z28 style (raised hood blisters).

Just trying to get some opinions. At the moment, I'm leaning toward either stock or the in the works sunoco.

VFN Sunoco style would look sweet with the tall 91-92 style Z28 spoiler.

I was always a sucker for the Z28 hood, always wanted one on my 92 RS back when I had it.

jongbloed hood its a nice wide cowl that will look good on the car with the gfx you have or an SS to have more of a 4th gen feel because of the swap your doing either one or the sunoco will look good

That's a big split.

The jongbloed looks pretty good...kind of reminds me of the sunoco. Anyone know how the fitment/quality is from these guys?
My '99 has a cowl...I hate to have two fbodies with the same hood.
I'm glad to see a few suggestions on the stock hood.

Keep them coming!

The last pic is Kandied's car...which looks damn good.

I don't have a trans am, so the ram air is out.

Your car is nice, but I'm not a fan of the turbo hood.

Thanks!
