I personally like the stock hood better than the SS hood, looks cleaner to me. (That's just me though)

Well, I guess they could both be considered "stock", but I'd have to say I prefer the SS hood myself. However, some of us Z28 guys can pull off a really clean look while still keeping the flat Z hood.

back when i had the z28 hood i went into the city one day and had some RS stickers put on just for the afternoon, so everyone and their ricers thought i was rolling with a v6, it was funny listening to their bullshit after i'd smoke them, now i have the ss hood and no emblems and it looks great

SS hood. Must weigh a good bit less than the stock steel Z28 hood as well which is always a good thing. I keep waiting to find an SLP one in my color but no luck yet in 3 years. A guy just had one one ebay but wanted too much and it had some repairs done to it so my search continues.

No I do not have the actual weights of each but there is no way the SMC SS hoods weighs as much as the steel Z28 hood. Probably a good 15-20 lbs less for the SS would be my guess.

Hmm it's hard as I really like them both but i've grown to like the z28 hood better, honestly it might be just biased. I like them both a ton.

overall i like the SS hood, but if you have a "z" you should NEVER put a SS hood on it.... there's plenty of other hoods to pop on ...*cough* sunoco *cough*

Nope. Check out the SLP web site. They are made of SMC NOT steel and always have been. At least the 98-02's. Same stuff our sail panels are made of and the doors/fenders I believe. Sheet Molded Compound is what I think SMC means.
