Default What hood should I go with?

Currently my car has a SLP Ultra Z hood on it and I am just not a big fan of it. I just purchased a oem SS spoiler for it that I will be getting installed, so I want to have my new hood painted the same time. I can't decide between a VFN Sunoco hood or a SS hood. My car is going to have TTII's on it with gloss black centers. Please help me decide.
Here is a few pics of it now, I do like the black stripes on my hood now.

SS hoods are sick scott, but so are the sunoco!!! Thats a hard decision man! Whate ever you do, if you get the SS, have tha manta painted in black. The hood thats on there now looks OK im my book, but so do the other 2 your looking to choose from!

Stripes are just on hood only. I have the Berger panel in back painted gloss black to match.

Anybody recommend a good aftermarket SS hood. I want oem, but if I can't find one I'll go with aftermarket, plus that way I can use the box to ship mine out when I sell it.
