Looks good on a '67 Corvette, but I don't like it on a Camaro very much. Your car is black, so it works better, but I've seen it on red cars, and it just looks awful.

I agree with the original poster, big cowl induction and redonkulous hoods are just stupid.

But this a damb good looking automobibble (other than the headlight grills, wtf lol). Nice and clean looking, easy on the eyes, isn't gaudy, nothing 'unnecissary' or out of place looking, doesn't scream at you for attention like a used car sales commercial. Has a bit of the smooth pro stock class look to it with it lowered and all.

Am I the ONLY one who thinks the "WS6" hood looks decent on an LT1 Camaro? The holes in the hood match very well with the holes on the headlight buckets.

I think that looks pretty awful.

I LOVE the SS hood. I like most cowl hoods like the style Shock has.

I don't really like the Ultra Z hood or stock flat hoods but they're okay.

I don't generally like really big hoods (that silver Z with the huge cowl hood looks terrible) and I HATE Trans Am hoods on Camaros.

You're probably in the minority. I really don't like the WS6 hood on either Camaro, but it looks worse on the LT1 than it does on the LS1.

This car actually looks badass with a cowl hood. I have generally favored a clean look, but this car still looks super clean (and I'm not usually a fan of black cars)... Nice photo.

I just discovered another reason I don't like most aftermarket hoods. It's because in as little as 5 years, early 4th gens are going to be really rare to see, just like ALL 3rd gens are rare to see.

And when I do see one, I'm going to be annoyed to see it with a dumb aftermarket hood, just like I'm mad about this rare gold-yellow '85 IROC having this hood:

I don't mind it on the LS1 having the WS6 hood if is has the right body kit, but it can be pulled off on an LT1 without ground effects, in my opinion.
