If it were a Z with a stock hood and you were looking to buy one or the other I'd say Sunoco, but I would never take an SS hood off to switch it out.

If it were my car, I'd swap the scoop decal you have now for a manta and call it a day. It looks great as it is though, you're just getting bored with it because that's what we do

Go painted manta, even if it means saving up for a little bit. It's only overplayed on ls1tech, not in Sac

its an actual ss, so i would leave that because its cool to say.

but.... EVERYONE has an ss hood, its gotten to be normal to see them on any camaro. i got the warbird hood because i personally really like it, and its something different. i think that the manta looks amazing, and i would do that if you were to keep the ss hood. otherwise the vfn SS is sick, and there are plenty of other hoods you can look at.
