My Usbody Ram Air II hood should be arriving very soon, probabally early next week. When I get it on and painted, i'll post a bunch of pics. Never seen one of these hoods on a Camaro before. I am pretty sure i'll look real good.

I didn't think any of the aftermarket hoods were really that big of an improvement for the money they want. I ended up putting an IROC hood on with the 91-92 Z/28 scoops, and I think it looks pretty damn good. I picked up the hood and the scoops used, so I only have about $200 or less in the whole setup. Just a cheaper option for you to consider.

Personally I like the standard Z28 Louvered hood that came out for the '85 Z. I wish I had one. Come to find out my '85 Z28 is supposed to have that hood.... but I have an RS one. And I'm supposed to have a grill... I've got fog lights.. HMMMMMM...
