Default Help me decide on a hood! -Poll-

Well I am thinking of purchasing a hood for the Camaro.

The choices are the most common on the market

Give me the popular vote for my white Z28. By the way, I am probably going to purchase the ASCD SS spoiler also.

Thanks!
Andy

My white z would like a hood too.

I'm liking the 3" SS and the Sunoco with the line, ended up voting for the sunoco because i like the style a little more, and the body line is just HOT.

My White Z wants a hood to but I told her they are to expensive. Although I still think the OEM SS hood is the best choice.

I like the ASCD SS hood. The VFN SS hood is too big and looks funny. The 2" cowl would be good too.

Yeah the VFN 3" SS is large but I like it, gives like a hot wheels look to it...

I can't find a pic of the VFN Sunoco cowl with body lines... anyone have one they could send me or a link?

The other one I liked, was just looking around is this one...

Everyone should know what an OEM SS hood looks like so there is no picture of that.

From what I understand...VFN and ASCD are sponsors. Therefore you can buy direct from them.

VFN Fiberglass
American Sports Car Design

Google them or look to the right for their sponsor tag.

The Ultra Z is one of the best looking for a Camaro, IMO. That white Z28 w/the Ultra Z looks badass

I dont know if the Sunoco without the bodyline is the one that has the slight crease to it, but that would be the one I would go with.
