another hood thread. before we start just wanna let you know that the hood I have on it now is called a Suncoast "Z-style" hood made from fiberglass and it is a cowl/ram air hood. basically like the hood on the 93-97 trans-am's. (looks basically the same) I bought this hood from a member on here and since then I put the rest of the exterior mods on it as well. When I decided to go with dick harell stripes I started getting mixed feelings on the hood and now I think I want to put the Sunoco cowl hood on here with the stripes on the side to match the theme of the car. also this hood I have fits perfectly. Best fiberglass hood I've seen locally fit so well on these cars besides a really nice Harwood hood I seen once.
What are your thoughts on switching to the sunoco hood with stripes...or keep my current hood. If I do get it I will try to trade if anyone is interested. That would make it even easier. let the suggestions begin fella's

that's what my buddy tells me but I think it would contradict the stripes. I think it would offset that balance. ohh. Here's another thing.. I'm thinking of painting it Diamond White in the near future with the stripes in Diamond black.
my take...
I love your hood, and the way everything sits right now.
I would keep that hood if i were you. but, since you want the stripes, I think you can make stripes work with that hood. Honestly i think that would look GREAT with black stripes painted on the sides. it would have a similar look as the blackbird stripes for Trans/Ams
https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...d-stripes.html -check out post #5 of 223HAWK's car. he painted on his tripes and they look really good. he had a thread up a while ago with more pics. thats what i'd do with your hood, in black. or, if you're not up to the paint idea, you can always go to a local vinyl/decal shop and get some custom fitted ones to go on there.

I think the hood looks great. When I bought my camaro the original owner of my car messed up the front end and hood, he replaced it with the suncoast creations one. The hood fits perfect and the ram air functions great as well.

I am just not a fan of WS6 hoods on anything besides a Trans Am. I also don't really like scoops that open up towards the front of the hood on Camaros either. I just don't think it looks good.
Regardless, it's your car, do what you want to do. The car looks very clean even with the hood, I just think it could looks better with a different hood
. Not trying to dog you man. Just wanted to give my opinion.

I don't like the picture in the link either. It just emphasizes a hood I don't really like on a Camaro in the first place. I think the blackbird stripes would look best out of the two options.

just kidding. Thank you for your opinion. That's what I want. As I said I really like the sunoco. And if I get the chance at one I'll take it if I am able. I'm glad you were honest an most definitely not rude or were trying to dog me. All good here!
