Default Hoods for an LT1...

So I was thinking about getting a new hood, and with that new hood, a whole new paint job *probably stick with black*. The paint is still in good shape, but would love to make it perfect. What kind of hoods do you guys like on the LT1 Formulas? I was thinking about possibly the 98+ style, or even a cowl. Anyone here have cowl's on their LT1 Formulas or have pics? Help!

That's hot. How much do those cost, and what is the fitment like with this brand?

Octane is a distributor for ViS.

You'll have to talk to "95 TA - The Beast" for his experience with fit and finish, since he's the only person I know that has the hood.

Well of course I am partial to the WS.6 ram air (LT1 only). The Firehawk ram air is nice too. I don't like that cowl posted on the T/A, but it may look good on a Formula.
