Honestly not a fan looks like something that belongs on a camaro, The LT1
WS6 hood is the best thing for LT1 Firebirds, maybe try to work with something off that style

Counter-Proposal This is just an idea please let us know what you think
From This
To This
And This
To This
this would combine the vette with the firebird and the sunoco, fix the flatness that the lt1 suffers from, we would round out the top of the hood to give the illusion of rounded fenders. We would also raise the scoop a little more than the picture shows something like 3 to 3-1/2 inches. NO BARFING PLEASE!!!

I had plans in the future to have a custom shop permanently deactivate my 1997 WS6 Ram Air Hood by blending in the nostril air inlets with fiberglass filler to eventually form a smooth beak to the front bumper cover. This hood proposal of yours is very VERY close to what I was going for! I would recommend basing the styling of this hood off the WS6 ram air hood, keep that V-shape "beak" in the center, but fill in what would be the nostril air inlets and you now have a VFN Sunoco hood for the Firebird that could work well on the Camaro as well!
