I chose the SS hood, but that was because this hood wasnt an option...

Thats cuz VSGLS1 is a poo head and had to go 1 off custom for his hood

Its similar to the Harwood 3" cowl tho, which does look pretty damn nice.

I voted SS but I also like my cowl hood, but would buy the vfn hood as a first choice if I lost both of my hoods

Keith's car does look and sound very nice in person though.

VSGLS1 & Roarin_8 meet up

I like the VFN fiberglass 3 in SS hood and the DGmotorsports ZL1 hood.

I like the SS hoods more then the rest but I also like the cowl induction hood as well...so it would be a toss up between them

Anyone have the Sonoco style hood thats extended to the windshield? Its apparently 4.5" tall but only appears to be a 2-3" cowl from the inside, helping visibility.

This is the best looking aftermarket hood by far for the camaro. If I had a Z28 I'd have to have that hood

I like the Mecham 4 port hood, but heard their fit is terrible.

I voted Sunoco. I'm casually looking at a cowl hood myself.
