I like it. A friend of mine has a similar hood on his 95 lt1 formula.

I don't think I've ever seen a traditional cowl hood on a 98-02...other than the 4" ram-air style VFN makes.

I think 4" is a bit too high, but what do you think about the look of a cowl hood on a bird?

that white one looks better... but i think that cowl hoods on birds makes the car look even more like a wedge than it already does... i think thats why the ws6 hoods (lt1 and ls1 style) look so good becuase they give the front some more body to the car and make it look less like a wedge of cheese...

I like the 3" carbonfiber cowlhood that ViS Racing makes. It's not as rounded.
