like to see more picture of car with ss hood

When it comes time for me to buy a hood for my 89 iroc i am in a big debate over the ss hood or the big block hood. I have mainly seem pictures of the big block hood and it looks great. However, the few pictures that I have seen of camaro with the ss hood also look great. But, I have only seen a couple pictures of the ss hood, and those pictures were not the greatest quality wise. So, I would actually like to see pictures of both hoods to help me with my final decision. I would appreciate any subjects or opinions on what hood others prefer.

thanks

I love the ss hood. In my opinion its the best looking 3rdgen hood but its getting a little to popular for me.

Heres a link for ss hood pictures

They don't make 'em for 'birds, huh? Too bad, it's a great looking hood!

Thats all I have since it was painted. More soon, putting new rearend in now and have new wheels to install.

Can't go wrong with a cowl or SS hood. Both look killer on 3rd gen Camaro's.

9T1 z-28 your car looks great. The ss hood sets the car off. The way you painted the hood is smoking. That is exact the way I was planning to paint my hood; however, I was afraid it would not look good. But, your hood looks great with the car. My 89 iroc is red. So, the hood is going to be red and black. Thanks for the picture the car is awesome.
