I've got the same car in convertible...I'll post pics when I get it back from being painted (maybe another week or so). I went with the Harwood fiberglass 2 inch cowl induction. Pretty basic, I guess...then again, kinda classic.

i've got to say you all have beautiful camaros

i have been looking at the bolt on 3 1/4 in. cowl hood out of up22.com it has the same mesurements for the cowl as what is on most complete hoods with it already molded in. i do alot of body work on teh side so i thought this might be a good choice without taking out the extra money for teh whole hood. heres a pic of teh scoop with dementions so you can see what i'm saying.
it only 109 bucks delivered to my door.

I don't know who made my hood. Bought it from someone out of the paper. $400 and much more to get it painted right and now I have bubbles in the front. Sh!tty quality work. Now I get to repaint it. Oh what fun. 4 3/4" Cowl Hood in sig.

Go for the SS or RA2 hood, they both make me wish I had a Camaro.

Cervini Ram Air hood. I don't really like it because now-a-days I see way too many mustangs a pick-up trucks with it. I'll be getting a regular cowl hood one day.
