Need help picking out a hood...

I am going to be getting a new hood soon and I want some kind of cool looking hood but I dont know what would look good on my car. I have a 91 z28. I need some people to post pics of their hoods so I can see what one I want to put on my car. Thanks

mine is a little different from the ss hood, its a functional cowl hood as well. but personally i like the stock 91, 92 z28 hoods with the blisters the most, is that what you all ready have?

Yes. I have the hood with the blisters and I like it to but it is so heavy that is why I wanted to get a cowl induction hood or something like that SS hood because they are(well some) are fiberglass and weigh a lot less.

call me crazy, but i dont like tall hoods with scoops and tall cowls. thats only my opinion tho. I have a fiberglass hood off a 82-84 Z28 and i think it looks bad azz and is nice and light. If you have to go with a cowl i like em low and subtle. just my 2 cents.

wait a couple more months and get the "Jongbloed" style hood that Gt Auto is making right now. It is hands dwon the nicest looking hood i have ever seen on a thirdgen.

Stick with the stock hood!

Otherwise, I'd advise a small cowl hood like a 2 and 1/4 incher from Harwood.

Hey Eric, what does the "Jongbloed" hood look like that you are talking about. I have never heard of it. If you have a pic that would be cool. Thanks
