I like the looks of an 93-97 SS, but the power of a 98-02

lol, for some reason i think the front end of the older style seems too pointy, and too low, or faced towards the ground.

i almost bought a 97 though

IMO they all rock but if I had to choose I'd pick the '93-'97 style cause they look a little more aggressive and appeal more to me and I love the sound of an LT1. I love LS1 WS6's and SS's too, they look mean as hell. I do like the powerband of the LS1 much more though but I'd have to pick the '93-'97 but Im proably biased.

I love it. I like the look of a lower and rounded cowl. Most are tall and squared .

Did you glass the cowl to a metal hood, or is the whole hood fiberglass?

used a stock hood to start my mold. when everything was right. i pulled the stock hood. flushed the area where the vents were in the mold. and then i laid down the glas mat, resin and built it. lots of work.

Would have to say the '98+. The integrated headlights smoothed out the lines up front. Just made a cleaner looking car overall.

I still remember thinking back when the 4th gens first came out, they looked like a Geo Storm on steroids.
