Default Help me pic the right hood

Please help me decide which hood to go with. I'm in need of a new hood due to all the heat the stock hood retains. I don't have the CCW wheels any more. I'm leaning towards the ZR hood since I've heard it fits decent and it's a reasonable price. The ACP hood's are going to cost more than the others. The hood I really wanted to go with is to much so I didn't add it to the poll (MCM).

Pics of my car:



Wheels that will be going on the car:

ZR.

The other ones have too much going on.

I've seen that pewter vette with the CF ZR hood on it, sexy.

ZR definitely. Those others are a little rice-ish.

personal vote is none of the above. On a vette just a plain simple classy cowl hood looks the best.
