Default SS Hood Or GFX

I can't decide whether to get the SS Hood or some GFX. On my 2002 Z28 I would like both but I cant afford both. Any advice would be appreciated. Also can any one tell me some good and bad things about both.

2002 SOM Z28 M6 Lid, Cutout, and Flowmaster would like GMMG.

Ground Effects are cool. Hoods are cooler.

If I get the hood what brand should I get. Because I dont want to have a big problem with the fitment of the hood. What kind do you all have on your Z28s with SS hoods. What problems, and what bad things were involved when installing the hood.

Go with the hood. An OEM hood will fit the best, but you will also have to fork over the $$.
