What hood should I get?

I will be ordering an LS1 SS spoiler next week, and am throwing the idea around about getting a new hood. I am thinking about a SS hood, but I also really like the cowl induction hods like Shock6906 has. The car is purple pearl metallic. I found this car a few weeks ago on another forum, it looks like pure sex

I wont be doing the Berger panel, but that car is exactly what I have always wanted, complete with chrome Z06 wheels

edit: It would be awesome if someone could refer me to a company that sells hoods already painted to match the factory color.

If someone who actually owns an SS could point out which of those cars has the stock SS hood and which car has some other kind, I would appreciate that, because I don't know without wasting a lot of time researching

I believe the narrower one is stock. I prefer the wider one.

I thought it was the narrower one too, but I'm really not sure. I like the wide one as well...

Pretty sure the narrower one is made by suncoast while the wide one is the stock style. I know my ASCD hood is styled just like the stock ss hood.

All I could go by was Google search results. It seemed like every factory SS I saw had a narrower hood scoop. It's hard to tell when it's not paired up next to another one with an aftermarket hood, though.

I've never been a fan of the SS hoods on LT1's. Harwood cowl would be pretty cool.

if you like both the ss hood and the cowl hood take a look at vfnfiberglass.com They have a mixture of both of them, i have one sitting in my garage right now, just haven't put it on yet. still doing motor work, but its a ss hood raised 3 inches to give the cowl look also.
