I think a good traditional 2" cowl would look good on your car since you don't like the Sunoco hood.

As for the under hood area first I would do the !wire mod. I just did it two days ago, it's very easy to do and not to mention how much better it makes your engine bay look. - http://www.lswon.com/2005/01/25/wire-mod

As for dressup items you can get some highly polished items from here - http://www.specializedstainless.com/

Theres my hood. Its a VIS 3" cowl hood, on the 93-97 bodystyle.

By you mentioning a sunco hood, i'd imagine your car is the 98+ though..

I'd go with a harwood personally, which is the same as my hood, only fiberglass and not carbon fiber.

Yes it is, check out his other posts about his LS1 buildup.

But the sunoco hood is made for the LT1 Camaro's as well.

Yes, but you rarely hear about them on the LT1's.

I think a small cowl to go with the ss spoiler and lil bit of them shiney things under the hood would look nice
