Default Need Opinions!

I'm buying a new hood for my z, she's arctic white and has the OEM 5 spoke chrome wheels at the moment. Mods I plan on doing in the near future includes black c6 z06, black hockey stripes, SS spoiler, Black Berger panel. Which hood do you think would look best with those mods, thanks.

1) 4-inch Cowl Induction


2) 3inch SS


3) "Sunoco Style" With or Without center body Line


4) VFN Sunoco Wide Bolt On Hood smooth 4.5" Tall 28" Wide

Huge cowls on stock cars just looks stupid imo. #3 is the most timid, go with that.

The wide Sunoco doesn't look bad when you are inside the car. Like it comes down some and comes close to the windshield. My friend has the wide Sunoco. I have the 4 inch glasstek. And my other friend has the 3 inch SS hood. I think its just personal preference though. And as long as it flows with what your plans are. The 3 inch looks good with a drag set-up. At least to me. There's the 3 of the 4 hoods you are talking about.
