At first I wanted the Mecham hood, but there is nothing like the cowl hoods. There are too many SS hoods on camaros now. Pssycotic your car is the reason why I want cowls on both my cars. Very nice!

Whatever you do, don't buy anything from Mecham or you will end up with junk like I did...

its not that bad...i have pics of it from inside but my comp crashed today so i cant upload them...im not that tall (5'10 ish) and its not bad my gf cant see over it though...i daily drive mine and have still love it more and more everyday. The only spot that bothers me that i cant see is the front pass side corner
If you want a functional hood get the Ultra-Z:
If you want a hood LIKE the SS hood, but NOT the SS hood (since they are a dime a dozen) get either the ZL1 style hood:
or the " 3" SS " hood:
For cowl's there's many options...
There's the most subtle Harwood:
Of course the infamous Sunoco:
(with center line)
(without center line)
and finally the traditional cowl (very bad ***):
The coolest part is EVERY hood I just listed looks VERY bad *** and is VERY rare to see in your average town cruising around...
Pick your hood based on your car's theme though. Examples:
Nice daily driver with some mods, I say Ultra-Z
SS on steroids, I say ZL1
SS on steroids ROID RAGING, I say 3" SS
Daily Driver with the occasional *** kicking, I say Harwood
Daily driver/nightly *** whooper, I say Sunoco
All out street brawler, I say traditional cowl
So pick your poison...
