I second the SS Hood opinion, or how about an Iroc Hood?

Re: Need a new HOOD- help decide which one!
Don't have pics right now. I will get em. But my dad and I bought one of those twin turbo hoods? for our iroc and it looks awesome on there. We plan on cutting out the turbo ducts and custom making an intake system. Or maybe twin turbos

Re: Need a new HOOD- help decide which one!
I would say find something different, that everyone eles doesn't have.
I have the ss hood ( which I love ) but mabe go with the jap heat extractor hood or somthing that would look good WITH hood pins so your hood wont go flying up again...

I also have the 4" daytona cowl hood on mine and I love the look and its functional I haven't seen anyone else around my area with one so around here its different but just depends on the style you want your the one who has to see it everyday

Re: Need a new HOOD- help decide which one!
If the L88 hood is the Big Block hood, I say that first, 4th gen SS style second.
And your right about the cowl hoods...They are so common, they are kinda "boring" to me now.

Re: Need a new HOOD- help decide which one!
Anything but a daytona iroc hood, those are the most vomit enducing hoods ever made. I'd say either a regular cowl hood or an SS hood, though I think 4th gen hoods should be left on 4th gens. What ever you get this time remember hood pins are nessicary on fiberglass hoods.
