Which Vented Hood Would look best?

With my Black with white stripes setup camaro 2ss. Ive been looking at those single center venters as seen on the red and black striped camaro 2ss on the top of the C5 page here. I want a vented hood to keep my blower and engine compartment cool.

Like seen used with this vent

I came across the "Hex Vents" as well. Saw a pretty good looking black with white striped camaro ss with gloss white hex vents to blend in, didn't look to bad!

I think the oem 14-15 vent looks the best. Especially when painted.

I like the ZL-1 hood vent. It screams beast. Also prefer the INDY stripes which other than two V6's at the lot where I bought my car, I never see them on the road.

I prefer the look of the Zl1 cutout as well. It looks more aggressive IMO. Having said that I have the Hex vents on mine currently and they work well. I don't use the covers so they vent engine heat well. You can see the heat rising from them.

I dont care for the look of the Hex vents with stripes on the hood. If running Hex Vents lose the stripes.
