To the previous two posters:

Harwood makes it. It is by FAR my favorite hood for a Camaro.

Makes me want to be a Z just so I can throw one on.

The SS hood matches the car perfectly and my second choice would be the Ultra Z only because the SS hood is common and it would be nice to have something different in town. The problem with front nostril hoods are that it just makes a Camaro owner seem like he has regrets in owning a Camaro and made a poor attempt to clone a WS6. But I happen to have a SS hood on right now and cant decide if im going to sell it and get an Ultra Z one. Hard to decide, either way people might have negative thoughts. As for the other hoods, they are just too much of a hood for me. Thats just my opinion and sorry if it offends anyone, that was not my intent.

I like the Sunoco, but i really love the 4" cowel on mine.. i was more than happy to et rid of my factory SS hood, saw so many z28's and V6's with them it made owning an SS pointless to me. But to each there own.. wont see many V6's with this hood..

If you wanted a cool looking hood, you should have bought the WS6 IMO.

I'm gonna say that cowl hoods dont belong on any EFI vehicle, much less LS1 camaro's. and SS hoods need to stay on SS cars. that brings my vote to the sunoco hood.

The Harwood is hands down the best looking hood for a Camaro, with the SS runner up.

And to the people that say an SS hood belongs on a SS, then tell Trans Am owners that a WS6 hood belongs on a WS6. What's it matter if it's a base Z28 and Trans Am? What's so wrong about putting SS and WS6 hoods on them? They look good so how can you blame them?

I agree. So many people think that the SS and Z28 models are separate car models. In reality, the SS is only an appearance package. It's not its own model and that's obvious, because what engine does it have? The 5.7 liter LS1. What engine does the Z28 have? The same freakin' engine. True, you also had a slightly better suspension and the option to buy SLP upgrades with the SS appearance package, but the fact remains that it had the same freakin' engine that's in a Z28. The SS badgings, the hood scoop, and the spoiler...all appearance items. So, how can an SS owner even think that a Z28 shouldn't have an SS hood? or criticize a Z28 owner for having the SS hood? It's simple: he or she is an ignorant bastard and should be banned from this message board.

SS hood here since it just looks clean simple and effective. There are a lot of people out there with them but there are a lot of Camaros too. Doesn't mean you should start thinking about a different car just because you see a lot of them. Just my opinion is all. The other hoods have some decent qualities to them too. I don't like the extactor hoods on camaros though. They look better on the firebirds.
