How dumb would this look?
I have a Z28 but I love the SS hood would it be just stupid if I put the SS hood on my Z28? Wolud it make it any better if I made it functional or would people still just point and say look at that idiot in the Z that wants to be an SS?

Hey look at this idiot with a Z and wishes it was an SS!
Just kidding man
If you like the SS hood, get it. I wouldn't think you were a poser or anything...as long as no "SS" stickers ended up on the car.

Its your car, who gives a crap what others think.
If I ever get to the point of stopping spending money on gong faster and spend some on the body I might get the SS hood & spoiler. I plan on putting SS badges on it too. I thought about putting the badges on without the hood and spoiler

Yep, it's your car. Go for it. I want the SCC Z style hood and the SS spoiler. I wont rebadge it though. I like having a z28.

If you like the hood, put it on!
Although I personally wouldn't badge it to look like an SS, you can do whatever you want ... it's your car.
It's like people putting the Raptor hood on their T/A ... it makes it look like a Firehawk. That's cool by me and I love the way it looks. But, the first time someone sticks a Raptor hood on their car and then puts the Firehawk decals on there, I'm gonna walk up and slap them.
But, that's just me.

Go for it, if I had a chance, I would put an SS hood on my Z28 any day. I might buy an aftermarket hood someday and put it on anyway. Makes the Z look alot meaner IMHO.

I've seen it. It looks cool. Buy the kit to make it functional. I thought about doing it, too. The SS is not available in marooon. (see sig) I thought it would look sweet. If anyone says anything, just waste them and see what they say next.

I say get the SS hood. If you like it do it but if you put the SS badges then (in my opinion) it will look poser-ish. 
And if anyone says anything -- Smoke em

Go for it. I agree with the SS = poser comments, so I'm happy leaving the Z28 badges in place.

I am having a American Autosports SS hood put on now because my original hood was damaged when I bought the car and the dealer was going to pay to have it fixed, so I just had the money put to help paying for an aftermarket hood.
Hope it looks good.

I got a buddy who is the VP of the NorCal club and he has a 99 Z with a SS hood on it and he gets nothing but compliments. But I agree that if you put the badges on then your getting into poser teritory.
