I like how it looks now. Why not spend in suspension and leave the current hood on it?

because everyone has a SS or WS6 hood lol

For once I will agree with Mr.Chaman haha, work with what you have and get what you really need. F-bodys are 4X4's until you lower them. A must mod for are cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well the current hood is in rough shape. And it drives me nuts. its one of the only imperfections in it. I have been thinking about lowering it but ive heard they ride like **** afterwards. I was thinking a rised cowl. by sunoco just unsure at this point wanted some opinions.

You will a lot of crap about the suspension. Im riding on 19" wheels, BMR springs and KYB adjustable shocks. It rides much better than stock. Take a ride on a nice lowered suspension. Dont follow what you hear? My best advice is use LS1TECH for ALL the mods you have in mind. Thank me later....good luck with your ride!
