So its a fake cowl, i got that much. Got any pics of the hood from the driver's angle? Did the last guy basically just make a mountain of bondo? Or can you actually get some clearance underneath? I like it alot, the smooth edge is different, ive never seen that before. Looks very factory!

Not bad- never much of a fan for cowl hoods but at least that one is subtle. A fresh coat of paint and little work with the grill and you're on your way.

Looks great until you get to the back of the scoop. Im used to seeing the scoop be extended past where the back of the hood is.

Looks good. Yeah...I think it should have been a bigger cowl though. Why would someone go with a 2 inch cowl to begin with unless it is given to them?

wow, you saved that hood. wouldn't recongize it from the before pic.
if the cowl extended to the edge of the windshield area it'd be perfect.

Looks good. I like the smaller cowl hoods. If its you DD or weekend cruiser thats all you need. I wouldnt go bigger than a 2" or 3" unless it was strictly a race car. Just my opinion.

Dont cut a hole in the hood to make it functional. The hoods flex enough as it is and will crack bondo you dont need to make it weaker.
