Default Stingray Hood!

Hey everyone! I was wondering if this hood is taboo? I have searched and have't really found anyone with it. Are we supposed to regard this hood like we do body kits... an absolute no? What do you think about it?

I'm with you, man. I'm putting on a cowl I think... an SS hood just isn't right for a Z28.

I think it's sharp, looks great on 3rd gen's. However that's a big block hood and anyone worth their salt in Chevy history will think you have a 427 or an LS7 in it. If you don't = poser. That's why I wouldn't do it.

Ahhhh, Crofton. Good to see another MD boy on here. I already like you. I think it looks good on your car... the teardrop wrecks it IMO. Good call.

Kinda looks like the ZL-1 hood. I know of a carbon fiber version of it, but it's not cheap. PM if your interested, nonsponsor site.
