can I vote for both? Im undecided between them too. I prefer the SS over cowl hoods, but that Sunoco, its a bitchen hood. I'm leaning more towards that hood.

Its even harder with a black Camaro like yours cuz either look good. Since mine is the stock 94' blue gray, I'm leaning towards Sunoco (like the Berger Super car on GMMGS site) cuz I don't think that SS hoods would look as good except on a black, white, red or Dark Blue Camaro.

I was caught between the 3" SS hood and the Sunoco hood. I went with the Sunoco hood because of the SS hood looking awkward without a big wing in the back to even out the car. Sunoco hood is very nice looking in person with a aggressive look at any angle on the car but my favorite look is the look of the hood coming up from behind because the back of the cowl grabs your attention like "BAM". I gotta find a way to get my picture on this site!!

Shwiiiing! I love that hood.

I want to put the black on the sides of the cowl, but have it read 396 SS or 396 ci

Aren't they some sexy fenders hiding the 18x12 wheels?

They also have a GP going on right now (which ends on Friday)

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...14#post3290914

I'm going to have to sit this GP out as I participated in too many in the recent weeks and I really gotta get back to finishing up the LS1 and T56. My Camaro is about to hit 212,000 miles this week, and I smell coolant which isn't good

Anyway, jump on the VFN GP, its a nice time to get one with the discount!

The SS hood is overdone. Get the Sonoco, definitely.
