Default SS vs Cowl hood

I have an SS hood now not installed...haven't been a fan of the SS Clone look...
Plan on picking up a VFN Cowl induction hood...But the Cowl hood is really nice if you have the power to back up the visual...blah...Im practically stock with a few bolt-ons...and would probably wanna get the Freedom designs spoiler to set off the cowl more as oppose to the standard Z Spoiler or SS spoiler..

yeah...The SS look is great!! ...I've seen V6's cloned and Z's Cloned to look like an SS...you can't hardly tell when someone actually has an SS anymore... I don't wanna run around looking for RPO's sick of it really...thats why the SS look is starting to wear thin on me a little bit..I think I might just clone the Dick Harrell Cars...

Not bad. My buddy has it. He bought the pin on and it "flaps" nin the wind or just going down the road. He has a drag car. My Sunoco is a bolt on, much more sturdy than his bolt on. I dont have 30 pins to remove when I open my hood either.

4 inch cowl is a bit much...I'd say go with a sunoco.

The VFN Sunoco's do look good...I wonder how the fitment is....Idk on which to go with still. I have the SS hood and spoiler if I go with the Cowl how would the SS Spoiler look with the larger cowl?

^ Yes the SS spoiler will look good with the VFN Sunoco. Alot of guys on here have that setup, look at the VFN Appreciation thread. You'll see plenty of them like that.

I also think the SS hood and Freedom spoiler looks good, i might be biased since my cousin has that setup on his 99 SS. I dont really have pics of it, so i cant show you but i like how it looks.

I don't have a Camaro, but if I did, I'd definitely roll with a sunoco cowl hood.
