I've always thought the "Active Hood" is the one they should have used on all ZR-1's. Virtually no rise at the cowl, and a nice, subtle, power bulge over the LT5, perfect. Especially since, with phenolic spacers on my plenum, my hood has been rubbing on the plenum for twenty years.

If somehow that hood get's reproduced, count me in for a group buy. But I can do without the vents. Those "rice boy" vents looked hastily tacked on by engineers.
IMHO, one of GM's best efforts at a good looking hood vent is on the early nineties Lumina, pictured here. That would look great on the ZR-1.
