SS Hood or WS6 Hood?

I'm torn between what hood to get for my camaro, so does anyone have any pics of either hood on a convertible or at least some opinions on how they would look?

I'm currently leaning towards the ss hood right now, but i dont see too many ws6 hoods on camaros so that makes me think about getting that one.

thanks

Get the SS hood....

#1...The WS6 doesn't look right on Camaros, IMHO
#2...The WS6 hood is missing 2 of the nostrils gave it it's looks. Yes...I know the other 2 were in the fascia, but the combination is what gives the looks. Again...IMHO <<<disclaimers, even though I whole heartedly believe in both

Re: SS Hood or WS6 Hood?

I would say go with the SS hood. the WS6 hood is associated with Pontiac. It's my opinion that you shouldn't cross the two name brands. Stick with the popular camaro SS hood, it follows the lines better of your car and looks more "camaro" then the WS6. Good luck!

Re: SS Hood or WS6 Hood?

After doing some picture searching on google I've decided to go with the ss hood. it does look better than the ws6 hood to me and 91rs is right because it definitely says "camaro" more than the ws6 hood and thats kinda what im going for.

thanks for the help

p.s. o and how much more room does the ss hood give? 2 inches?
