For only $200, I doubt that hood will fit right.

Some cars can pull off the Z28 hood really good. They ad a sleekness to some cars.

If there was an underhood reason to have that big hood, I'd run it, but for purely looks, I think its a Fail.

I'm with him, if there was a monster SC under that hood or needed clearance for a large intake to breath into a monster engine, yup definitely go with it. Otherwise, it just doesn't flow very well. The SS part looks like the LT1 SS scoop, very angular unlike the LS1 SS scoop, and on top of that a nice smooth sunoco style cowl, it just doesn't work in my eyes. But that's my opinion and I'm the nut that prefers a formula body to a T/A lol

Those hoods have A LOT of fitment problems. Glad you changed your mind!

Meh.. I dunno.. I don't care for the stock Z28 hood, but I'm not a fan of that high-rise SS hood either.

my philosophy is while a car needs to look good. if it doesnt make it go faster spend the money elsewhere. if you really want a hood I would personally go just a straight cowl hood nothing too tall or an ss hood. thats just me though. at the end of the day its your car and if your happy with it who cares what anyone else thinks about it.

I agree, the hood looks extremely odd. Regular SS or a Sunoco is my vote.

Either save the money for a factory SS hood or buy a Sunoco hood, the combination of the two looks ugly. Its not a '79 Camaro with raked stance that you're driving.

That thing is gross.

When picking a hood, choose: A) Cowl or B) Scoop. Chances of a hood with both not looking like **** are slim.

Those Ford truck/mustang cowl hoods with the 2 scoops in them are a prime example and are very prominent for who knows what reason.
