ok asking for info/votes etc on aftermarket hood, for my 98 Z28. ive decided the SS hood is too overdone etc,. .. i wanna go with a cowl hood/sunoco type hood. questions are:
what brand did you get?
what was total price, paint install etc..
how was fitment?
issues?
pics before/after?
2 or 4 inch cowl..

JOE VAN O all the way. Featherlite carbon weighs 6-7LBS. Hood is trim to fit so fit and finish wont be an issue. Order the carbon dzus rails to for easy installation of pro stock dzus fasteners so the hood is secure and you wont experience the bouncing or vibration that are associated with some aftermarket hoods.

I had a VFN cowl hood on a prior Camaro. Fit and finish were great. Seeing as I fall into the "overdone" catagory, I would go with the Sunoco!

The SS hood will never be "overdone", thats like saying a ram air Trans Am hood is overdone. Never!

Sunoco hoods are pretty sweet though

i love the ss hood dont get me wrong, they are beautiful, but ive seen too many around here put on z28's and just want something different. the sunoco has really caught my eye, and its not a factory look thats why i love it. anybody have a ballpark on how much to have one painted 42u black to match??

maybe overdone wasnt right choice of words, they are awsome hoods, ive just seen alot of them, and want something that doesnt look factory.

A VFN Sunoco and the Dick Harrell style spoiler on Camaros look amazing.

Looks sick! How is the vision from the inside the car?

It wasn't bad at all.

To be honest, it was pretty cool looking over the cowl while driving! The really neat part about the hood was that I had the induction set up from
6LE that actually puts the air filter in the cowl!

I really miss that car.

Here's a pic of the induction set up. It's not bolted down all the way as I was installing it......

Thought the same as you about the SS hood being played out but I got a great deal on one and I cant help but love it now.

Im not sure about prices yet as i have not bought mine. I have a broken SS hood on my 02 z28 camaro. I saw a couple cars with cowl hoods and now im hooked. This is what im planning on doing.
