which hood?

Now that Jongbloed is back I'm having some serious second thoughts. I love the SS and have ever since I saw it but now I have a little something for this Jongbloed. So which do you think, SS or Jongbloed?

The stock 91/92 Z28 hood is still my favorite, but I would rather have the Jongbloed than the SS hood. The Jongbloed really matches the 3rd Gen's lines better IMO.

definately the ss hood, the other one looks too much like a cowl hood, but its your car and you should do what you think looks good..

I'm a transam guy, but the Jongbloed hood is a very beautiful hood in pictures. Fits the lines perfectly....and you're just waiting for some huge BB engine with a monster carb to be sitting underneath it. Very aggressive lines.

Your choice tho.

I'd have to say the SS, I've always like that better.

another vote for the ss here...I am really not impressed with the Jongbloed hood. The regular cowl looks much better I think.

I appreciate the replies, thank you. I'm thinking SS, it has more character than the J IMO. Any pictures of either would be welcome. Thanks much.
