easy choice, SUNOCO!!!

if you put a SS hood on your car it will look like every other SS on the road. Whenever I see a V6 or Z28 with an SS hood I don't even look twice, not saying they aren't nice, just very common, obviously, it is a stock hood. But the Sunoco will make you really stand out. I have a Sunoco hood and I have yet to see another one in person, so they are definitely more rare.

You can't go wrong either way. Just choose what you like best. I went with the SS hood because of the fit, but you might as well get a sunoco to stand out a bit

Id say if there arent alot of Camaro's in your area running the Sunoco hood then get that one. I like the SS hood personally. That picture posted is perfect IMO.

SS Hood. Although the Sunoco Hood is more rare.
It's a great looking hood. Plus you can always customize it how ever you want. ie.. have the scoop painted like Z28_you-ho posted.

no thats the only size. i thought it was big as hell when i first got it but now im use to it. when i see a stock hood it just doesnt look right being that small. i like that it stands out more but still has that ss look. if i remember correctly, the one show on pinks with the 2 brothers that raced the camaro was a hugger car with that hood.

EDIT:
found some pics for you
