i like the SS hood the best.. the ram air hood just looks cheap on the camaro IMO. . no offense to anyone who has that hood. its your car and your money -- but i think the choice with the most class is the regular SS hood.

That double ram air hood looks very out of place... doesn't flow with the car at all... makes it look like some sort of blocky dinosaur
Ultra Z and SS hoods are BLING BLINGIN Either way they both great

I would do the SS hood. It looks very clean on a camaro. The double vision does not look right on a camaro.

I'd say Ultra Z or SS...I think they look the best on Camaros...the Double Vision's lines are better suited to the Pontiacs.

I dont like the Mecham 4 port extractor. It looks to "alien." I am leaning more towards the SS hood now that I have read all of your suggestions. I like the ultra Z hood but the only thing I dont like about it is how the scoop sits so low on the hood. I like the SS hood b/c it follows the lines of the car so well and when you have one in your rear view you can't help but think ahh sh*t, I better get out of the way! Anyway those are my feelings....thanks for listening guys.

I am debating the same thing for my arctic white Z. I like the ultra Z appearance and what it does (ram), but the cowel induction hood looks sick as well. My only prob with the cowl is that I do not think the camaros windshield is straight up and down enough to actually do what the cowl is designed to do, so having said that..... ULTRA Z all the way baby!!!!

Kinda depends on the overall look your going for on the car...IMO. The Ultra Z hood looks good with either a drag look or on a corner carver. The SS hood looks great on a factory muscle look and is a no brainer for a matching SS spoiler. A cowl hood looks good on a car with skinnies up front.

Just my .02

Anyway you do it, it comes down to this....Who cares what everyne else thinks! Our cars are (should be) a personal expression of ourselves. Pick what YOU like and be proud of it. If you love it....you win.
