Chosing New Hood

I currently have the stock hood on my Camaro but it has a dent in it (to big to be pulled). None of my local junkyards have a hood with some sort of problem so I am going to buying a new one. I cant decide between the SS hood or Summits Ram Air hood. What do you guys think.

um, the ram air hood pic didnt load right or is wrong. which one is it? the T/A firebird inspired or one of the other ones. if its not the T/A hood i think i would go with the SS. IMO the other ones look dumb...

EDIT: nm, its right. i like the SS one better myself.

go with the ss hood its bad ass, i just put one on my car, if i knew u needed a hood i would have offered my stock one, i have it in storage i couldnt just throw it out. dont know why but i keep everything. anyways the ss hood is cool as hell

I like both hoods a lot but if it were me I would go with the ram air hood since you don't see a lot of them around...or atleast fewer than SS hoods.

actually i just ran through all my pics and i think that the only hood i really like is the SS or small cowl. the ram air you got there is actually better looking than the T/A one, but i still say SS.

I like em both. But I see that SS hood alot. Seems everyone around here(my town) has them. It's still a badass hood though.

u gotta see how that ss hood looks on a rs, with the ground effects and all its bad ass, when i get the car painted and she's looking all brand new ill be sure to post pics

might get a little bit of a clue from this pic, maybe

cuda dude has that hood, doesnt he?

um that pic did no justice at all.....i dont like that car the light covers are gaudy, and convertable camaro's look different then t top ones, ill have to post a pic real soon i dont wanna leave that impression of how a rs looks with that hood on anyones mind for too long.....ill!

well thats not even the rs kit, its aftermarket. just realized that. but i was goin from the hood and kit combo deal there. wasnt lookin at the rest of the car, but your right it doesnt help at all...

lol it doesnt at all and i ment to say something about that kit, its close to the rs front but that sure isnt a rs!

yea, pretty sure he does.

I personally like the Ram Air Hood because it is different, alot of people have the SS hood, but I still cant decide. Chevyracincamaro any idea where to get those headlight covers... I have seen them on a few diffrent Camaro's and I think they look good on the lighter colored cars.

um last i heard a company named GTS made em. i think the company either went out of business or doesnt make em any more. i dont know, seem to remember something like that but the old memory aint what she used to be. either way, you can prolly pick up a set from ebay for pretty cheap.

If you're getting headlight covers go with smoked or blackouts. The clear ones are pretty queer if you ask me. At least the blacks match the pain that's there, it looks more badass..

I have a presonal thing againt cars lookign like what they're not; between that and the fact that everyone has an SS hood I say the ram air. IDK how much that costs, look into the SLP Ultra Z hood also tho. Same general concept

Try www.ls1tech.com they have a lot of vendors there that sell them.

PERSONALY, I like the 2" cowl induction hood.

But of those two, the only one that I like is the SS hood.

Doesn't the air box get its air from what is flowing past the headlights? wouldn't those headlight covers kill alot of horsepower by restricting air flow? Anyone know for sure?

no, the air is collected from underneath, hence the plastic air dam down there to divert the air up

but on the SS and Ultra Z hoods they make special airboxes to utilize the hood's scoop... but those normally show about the same gais as a cold air intake

I see! my mistake.

s'all good

i like the ram air II's and the SS hoods myself
