Do it!!! I have a Z and desperately want an SS hood for the looks. I DO NOT, however, want to re-badge it as an SS.

I don't see why not. It's not like you're putting an SS hood on a v-6. It's no different that what GM did with the f-bodies. The option models, SS, WS6, Firehawk, were more cosmetic and bolt-ons than model changes.

But just like everyone has said, just don't badge it an SS and you'll be fine.

Default Do it.

The SS hood adds a ton of aesthetic appeal, so I'd say it's worth the money.

My Z28 has a SS Spoiler. But I agree on not rebadging as a SS.

I obviously see no problem with it. Z28 has a better ring to it then SS

as an original SS owner, I'd say go for it. although I do also like some of the other hoods. stock camaro hood is just boring.

i agree with everyone, nothing wrong with throwing an SS hood on a Z28. but i dont like seeing people rebadge cars, even if you've done everything to clone it, i still wouldn't swap badges.

i think the ss hood with a z28 spoiler doesn't look right. if i had a z28 i would get a small cowl hood, i like the looks of those better

its all about styling and the SS hood has more of it than the regular z28 hood. i got myself a hood, but i also got lucky and picked up the spoiler at the same time. i dunno if i'd rock the ss hood without a different spoiler.

stylish


boring

i did it and did the spoiler too and love it. BUT, if i could do everything over again, i would probably get a sunoco hood and the ss spoiler. i think it would just make the car look more unique. i hate original z28 hood, its too bland and makes our cars look like v6s.

i dont see nothing wrong with an ss hood or wing as long as you dont rebadge it.
im trying to get the retro look to my car and i kind of like the flat regular hood and wing but i do tend to change around the car once and a wile.
