another 'which hood should I get" thread

I have a 1995 polo green Z28 and am needing/wanting to replace my hood. I've been between three different hoods and would like to get some first hand experience with each if I could...and pictures are always welcome!

1) SS hood

2) 3-4" cowl hood

3) Ultra-Z hood

I have hockey stripes and would appreciate some pictures with such, along with an above-named hood...

Thanks!

I normally recommend the Ultra Z, just because it's bad-***, but right now I'm really feeling a Cowl hood

I know the Ultra-Z looks good on red and black cars, but I wasn't sure how it would look on a dark polo green car...

That and I figured if I got a cowl that I may as well go all out with the 4"...I personally think that the 2" looks a little fruity...

You're right, get the cowl.

Four inch is too big, and two is too small. Three is the magic number

I have never liked the ultra Z hood on anything...

If it were me it would be a [polo green] SS hood, with a black scoop, and black hockey stripes.

I voted for the Ultra Z but anything will look better than a flat top hood.

Definately the Ultra Z as long as the car will be lowered.
