I wouldn't recommend 4". I think they look like crap personally. Unless you need the room under the hood.

You should set up a poll and see what kind of feedback you get.

I think anything above the standard size looks too big. For me, it kinda ruins the clean lines of a Camaro. Just my $.02...it's your car!!

4" is too big in my opinion. I'd stay with the stock sizing...

I agree, too big unless you *have* to run it...

I like the hood you have currently, but a 2" cowl will give it more charector plus it will give it more of an agressive and mean look. 4" will just take away from the rest of the car.

I agree 4" is too big. Distracts from the over all look of the car. Just my opinion though. I think the SS hood looks great on your car now.

I like 2". 4" makes it the centerpiece because it really stands out, IMO.

Are you serious??? You have a super cool hood on there right now that you don't see very often. Everybody has 2" cowl hoods and 4" cowls are for covering Holley Dominators and a couple nitrous plates on a sub 10 second car. If your motor fits under the hood you own, save your money!

IMHO...
4" looks out of place unless it is a track only car and it is necessary for under hood clearances.
