Nope... I like the new hood now. Less places for wax to get stuck in.

Yep. I've liked them since the second time I saw one.

Still hate the hump myself but it wouldn't deter me from getting an 07. The Z used to have such a graceful side profile, then along came this hump and really screwed it up

Yeah, I prefer the 03-06 hoods a lot more. But then again, I'd prefer the HR motor even more than that. So 07 FTW.

I really don't like the hood either but if I was going to get one I wouldn't dump it just because of the hood. The engine is worth it. Theres probably and aftermarket hood somewhere that would look better.

The hump makes it look too plain. The lines that went down the old hood gave it more style.

To the OP and everyone that's doesn't like the new 07 hood. Please tell me you've, at the very least, seen the hood in person in multiple colors. Seeing it in pics won't give you an objective opinion.
