If your going with the gerger for sure then get a cowl hood to match the classic camaro look you wanna acheive. ALso tt2's would be your wheel choice to complete the retro look.

Can't go wrong with Cowl or SS IMO. I'd definately go with TT2's .... unless you got enough money for the SP500's

Im in the no hood crowd.....


But If you have to go with one..Id go with the SS..but it would have to be a really big gun their holding to my head...

01pewter2001z28's car is an example of it done right....ok so maybe no gun required..just some arm twisting

The 01 pewter would look sick with some halos. I'd say the cowl hood with some tt2s. Then you got yourself a winner. Y2K Pewter SS has one of the cleanest engine bays I've seen, just thought everyone should know that.

I think something like a cowl or the ultra-z hood would be the best. I'm having the same trouble deciding on what hood too get. I personally think the SS hood should stay on the SS. I think for the money you will spend on a hood make it a worthwhile purchase. The SS hood looks too stock(don't get me wrong, it's a nice hood)and it would be cooler if you could find an SS hood that's alittle bit higher than stock but not as HUGE as the VFN one.(that looks ridiculous IMO)
