Default hood options, this crazy one or sunoco

http://www.lmperformance.com/image.asp?p=4extca&m=90



Never seen it on a car... I am not sure how I feel about it


OR


I have definately seen this, but I havent seen it in person before:




I am leaning towards the sunoco probably, expecially since a pin on would only cost $400... but I dont know if I would want a pin on. A bolt on is $595 though! Thats a pretty damn big difference

Sunoco for sure. There's a reason why you've never seen that one on any camaro's, that's because it's hideous.

The first one is a Mecham hood. Doesn't look too good. The Sunoco hood looks way better.

First one is good without the heat extractors; ultra z style, but the sunoco is still better

I would be getting the sunoco with no line in the middle... I just don't understand the line in the middle of it, lol. Does anybody use a pin-on hood for a daily driven car? I've never used one and don't know how much of a PIA it would be

The Ultra Z hood would be better than the first one, but nothing compares to the Sonoco in my opinion. That hood is dead sexy. A second would be the SS hood then the Ultra Z but it looks like in your signature that your car already has the Ultra Z. Its your car do what you want with it. Many people say my factory graphics are ugly or must I say it "rice" but I happen to like them so thats why they are on the car in the first place. To each their own. If you like it get it and don't worry about what others on here think.

VFN usually has a sale going on. The bolt on Sunoco is like $505 with the sale. Add in shipping $175-200 and paint $ ??? You looking at $1000 maybe.
