What do you guys think?

Hey everyone,

I am going to be purchasing a new hood in the upcoming weeks and have narrowed it down to 3:

Ram Air (Put the NX Purge out of each nostril)
SS Hood
Big Block

What do you guys think?

big block , they look sweet and not that many people have it . But you should really pick a hood that you like so when someone says your hood looks gay or something you wont think twice about it .

Not the Ram Air, I want to be one of the few with it. Hehe, actually any of the three would look good, but I'd like to see a Big Block hood on a white car.

I am leaning strongly towards the Ram Air with NX purge coming out of each grill.

Dont get the SS hood because the more people with them makes my SS hood not so original!!!

I still like the BB hood though, i sort of wish i would have gone with that but OHHHH Well!

Dont do Ram air! It doesn't look right on a 3rd gen IMHO. *Sorry to those of you who do have it, just a personal opinion*

3rd gen Camaro, you mean... they look great on Firebirds and T/As, especially the R/A I hood.

There is a reason for that....

Just like everyone says...Get the TT2's, Get the TT2's, they look the best.........

Why do you think everyone has an SS hood, it's because they look the best and match the flow of the car the best.....

Same reason why everyone has TT2's and they are still popular....

Correction, thats why everyones car looks the same. majority of people have camaros with SS hood and TT2 rims, the only difference is the color, this site is also a reason for that if you know what I mean.

When I had my Camaro knowone in my city had an SS hood and just before I got to order it one of my friends had one, I never got the hood for the sake of hearing everyone say "oh your hood looks just like so and so's."

You should know more than anyone what i'm trying to say about standing out and not looking like everyone else.

not trying to start flaming, just speaking my mind.

honestly i love the stock hoods. But if i had to pick, it would be the SS hood. Look at 84customs , he has the SS hood and his car 1991 Z looks excellent with it
