Check out the SLP Ultra Z hood, I think it would look good on your car.

An ultra Z hood or a DH hood would do, please stay off the SS hood bandwagon

Haha! Thanks guys!


Obviously I love the VFN Sunoco w/ no line. It just works well with the Camaro overall. Some prefer the line, but the good part is that you cant go wrong either way!

Here is a pic of my car:


There are some nice hoods out there like the SS and the Ultra Z, but for me it is Sunoco hands down.

rock on, i love the sunoco cowl w/o the line also, but honestly if it was me, i would go harwood. i like them both, pretty equal, but the fact that there are a lot more sunoco hoods would definately drive me to buy a harwood. no offense, like i said, i like the sunoco too, especially on a dark cars, but it looks good on everything...as for ultra z, i like it, but not every car can pull it off. it takes a special car....ss is a great way to go too, classic, aggressive, looks great with manta, awesome hood, but again, very common....if it was me, i would want to be different in a good way though...this leads me to the harwood
