New Hood: Sunoco or Cowl?

Looking to shed some more weight on my car, so I am going to go with a fiberglass hood from VFN. I was pretty sure I wanted the cowl, until I saw the wide sunoco style hood, now I cant decide. The cowl is much cheaper, but Im not sure which will look better....

1. VFN Cowl

2. VFN Wide Sunoco Stlye

Wide sunoco for the win, I haven't seen the wide version on a car yet, but i can already tell it will look better than a standard cowl

As much as I thought I was set on a cowl, I think you are right.

I say sunoco, the lines flow better with the LS1 (rounded) 4th gens.
The cowls always look ALOT better on the LT1 (pointy) 4th gens, as they have sharper angles in the front end shape.

I'm going to go against the grain and say the traditional cowl.

Agree.
The sunoco looks best on 98-02
cowls look best on the 93-97
