I have an 01 red z28 only appearance mods are chrome c6 z06 wheels, z06/z28 badges, chrome grille, 5% tint all the way around with 15% all the way down the front
I want a hood but im kinda tore on what kind of hood i want...i dont know if i want a cowl hood, SS hood, or ultra Z hood....anyone on here have any of these hoods on a red Z...i dont need to see pics of the SS hood but the other 2 i would love to see or anyone else that has something different!!!
THANX!!!

 

when i get me an ls1 camaro im definatly gonna get the mecham 4 port extractor cuz no one has it, and its somewhat functional and very cool looking, cowns and ss hoods are way to ****** common everybody has them on ****** imports and trucks and everything else

Do a search about the Mecham hood. Supposedly it fits like crap and the quality sucks.

 

with a cowl your car will look a little like this...

 

Sweet, ...

 

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!

 

thanks man! it makes me feel good hearin that stuff..the cowl will be more reasonable when the 427 goes in

 

gotta agree with the cowl hood

 

that hood is all bidness.
awesome

 

pSSycotic - how is the visibility with that hood? Would you recommend it for an everyday driver?

 

I say cowl hood with a 2" cowl on it.

 

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

 

matt that looks like prep and paint issues an not the hood

 

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...
