Default What hood should I get?

I will be ordering an LS1 SS spoiler next week, and am throwing the idea around about getting a new hood. I am thinking about a SS hood, but I also really like the cowl induction hods like Shock6906 has. The car is purple pearl metallic. I found this car a few weeks ago on another forum, it looks like pure sex






I wont be doing the Berger panel, but that car is exactly what I have always wanted, complete with chrome Z06 wheels

It would be awesome if someone could refer me to a company that sells hoods already painted to match the factory color.

+1 for the LT1 SS hood. I think LT1 SS' are one of the better looking F bodies.

The car pictured above is a member here. S/N MPE331lx, not sure on teh tire size but it is painted DSG and is a very clean car, one of the best looking LT's I have seen, orcourse the pictures dont do it justice. I would ahve to say the LT1SS hood would be my choice.

Actually its my Wifes car Thats when it was still a sixxer!

The tires are 275/40/17s. We are planning on getting a set of C6Z wheels (18/19) and a set of billit specialties drag stars for it in the near future.

I almost had her talked into trading the chrome 17s for a set of OEM C5 Zo6 Speedlines, but she wants to keep the chrome
