Which hood?

You know those traffic barrels? The orange ones with the reflectors? They've got these big *** black heavy rubber bases that they sit on. If a truck runs over the base at ~70 mph it'll come up off the ground pretty good. Anyway...one of those bases creamed the front of my hood a while back. Figured it was time to get another one. Here's where you come in.

Which one do you think looks the best?

The hood depends on the rest of the look of the car. For a clean look, go with the 91-92 Z28 style hood. If you have some big meats on the back tires, go with a cowl and lower the car. If you have a streetcar, go with the ASCD hood with some 17" wheels. (I like the ZR1's with this combo a lot)

The hood makes a big difference on the look of the car, but if matched with the wrong things the car wont look very complete.

I love the SS hood, just too expensive for me right now.
