I think it would look awesome. The hood is also like a cowl hood because it's open from the back also. I posted up a bunch of pictures of my ss hood. Just check my post's. Also make sure you tell VFN your a ls1 tech member. I beleive you get a 10% discount. Another way to save money is to catch a gp when vfn has one. I saved over 100.00 that way. But other then that I love the hood. I noticed my Car also runs alittle cooler from all the airflow also. Also I forgot to mention make sure you tell them to cut out that scoop in the front - they will do that for free for you. That way everything is a perfect fit with the grille insert. Mike

Hey Buddy. No problem. I'm not sure if you saw these pictures but here are some more of my car. I agree about the drag wheels. That was a old picture with my z06 rims about 3 years ago. That's when I first bought the hood. I'm now running the prostars - full time

Get the 3" SS hood!!

I love that hood and almost bought it myself. The normal SS hood is so over done it doesn't do anything for me at all.

Default too big?

I think maybe the 3 inch scoop is a bit too big. It needs to be a bit shorter, in my opinion. The 3 incher just doesn't follow the lines of the car very well. I don't think the tall WS6 hood looks good either. VFN should make a version thats in between. I would like to have a bit of a taller scoop for my SS but not that 3 inch one.

I would keep your ss hood since the car is a real SS that way if you ever wanted it back the right way youd have the original hood

my question is: why in the hell haven't they made a 2 inch, that would be PERFECT IMO. Although I am sure if I asked them to, they would probably make me one

Where you located? I'd be interested in the OEM SS hood. I got a pewter camaro so it would be a simple swap for me. Let me know.
