I like the Sunoco better, but for $180, go with the SS.

Pics of car?

Regardless, if you can get an already color matched flawless SS hood for $180 vs. a Sunoco hood for (several hundred?) that will need prep and paint, go with the SS.

You could always buy the SS hood, sell it for more and use the profit for a SUNOCO...

I say Sunoco IMO they look great on Camaros. But then again $180 for an SS hood is a great deal. Get both and switch it around when you want...lol

I was in your shoes last year. got an SS hood for dirt cheap etc. if i could go back in time, i would wait for the sunoco. everyone and their brother around here has an ss hood. sunoco is rare, even on tech. plus they look absolutely ****** sick.

I like both hoods myself, but for 180.00 it would be the SS hood all the way.
