Opinions on a hood please First off this is the car...
the photos don't really do the car justice as far as its low, sleek, almost stealth like look in person, like its gonna pounce, which it does very well anyway
. Not to sound full of myself but this is true, I've often have been told that i have the best looking Camaro in the area, why i dont know, its just got wheels, clear corners and been lowered. thats it. time for a hood. what hood would look the best on her with out destroying the look i described above. I was thinking Sunoco but don't know if i want the body line or not, i wish the body lin matched the line in the bumper cover that would be awesome. i was also thinkin ultra z but my friends dont think it would look good on her. If you all have any other suggestions I'm open. such a difficult decision

Just get an adhesive remover like Goo Gone and then polish and wax over the area. Just make sure whatever you use to remove the adhesive is safe on automotive finishes.
If you do a search, look for !sidemoldings and see some pics/tips about it. Pretty easy.

FOUND ONE! LOL, i think i will do that, looks pretty good on the cars that i've found that had it done. as far as the harwood, haven't people been having problems with the fitment?

Dunno. Ive always heard Harwood hoods are pretty good quality, but I'd suspect even with the best aftermarket hood you're going to have some play and fitment "issues" to work through as thats just how bodywork goes.
And side molding is pretty simple. IMO, it looks better on Camaros then Poncho cars being we've got that line there already, and they dont. But just give it a good detail afterwards to get all the go off, and protect that "fresh" paint, and it'll be fine.
