to pull off the 3 inch ss hood you have to have a bigger spoiler i think not wings west bigger but or shoping cart handle but that version of the rally sport spoiler that is a litttle taller either will fit with your paint job even though the ss might conform more to the lines of the striping

the thing is that it'll look weird the stripe on the back and nothing on the front, dont your think??

i agree no stripes for the SS 3" hood, and just the sides of the sunoco, thats the best way to go, but in my case, i need to choose a hood that i can paint to match my custom paint job!!
ths for all the comments!

I don't know, I think you could pull off the side stripes on the Sunoco hood and leaved the back painted... Not sure though, something I've contemplated myself.
Regardless, even if you put the stripe back on the Sunoco hood looks WAY better with the style stripe you have now...
HOWEVER... If you decide to paint the bumper (to get rid of the stripe) the 3" SS hood would look KILLER with just the Manta in gloss black and it would match the back, like this:

And yes it's fine to have the hood just for looks. Some people will say no but they are the same people that think any Camaro that doesn't have the stock SS hood and spoiler is rice.

The 3" SS hood is quite a beast... And being that the most popular car (that I know of at least) wearing one is Totso's (or is it Tosto?) SOM car that runs 9's... I'd have to say yes, you probably wouldn't throw that hood on a stock car... Sorry, but the hood makes a statement.
No reason you can't get the hood now and do mods later though...

yeah well i want something unique or more exclussive, and thats why i choose these hoods, but then i start thinking about the fast the car should be to have that hood..
my project is to have 400rwhp and then look for some power adder, maybe NOS...
but i want to finish the exterior before i start with the engine...
Btw is Tosto, and yes i just have seen 4, the one on VFN site, Tosto´s, and 2 in cardomain..
so i guess it a good thing, not many people have it!!

I voted for the 3in SS hood. I am going to be putting that on my Sebring silver Z28. However, I'm going to have CF molded over the scoop and paint over it leaving a CF Manta. Sunoco is nice, but like Project Camaro said, it's being done quite often.
