I voted SS, and I can't imagine anyone wanting to go with another on an SS (now for my Z, I think I might go with a Sunco).

Question, is your hood metal or glass? Because someone on here said they thought they had a metal hood but everyone else says they have glass.

The stock SS hood is definately the way to go, no one can possibly complain about one of those.

Get the 3" SS hood. It would look sick on your car.

I love my sunoco good but to many other people love it as well and I don't like the idea of having a hood that many other people have as well.

I voted 3"... For some reason I just don't think a Sunoco on a factory SS is bad *** enough...

OUTSIDE of the options you posted I would either:

A) Get an old school cowl (there's a guy on here with a real SS and an old school cowl, now to me THAT is ***** out and says, "come get some")

B) Get a ZL1 hood...

Just some other thoughts...
