I like the look of the usbody.com indy style hoods for firebirds, but I think if you combine that with the style of the RA1 hoods (with the sides tapered out more to match the body lines better) it would look bad ***. Here's a pic of the indy hood.

I just got the indy cowl hood a couple of weeks ago from US Body. It seems to be made well. I've had a chance to put it on my car and from the front it doesn't look big at all. As a matter of fact it looks just right, the cowl flows just nice with a sleek look. At the base of the windshield its height is only 2 1/4" so it is not a real agressive cowl hood. I do agree that it should of have a little more of a trapazoid shape for the cowl but nothing is perfect. I'll be repainting my car within the next month. Perhaps I can find someone who will host my pictures when I'm done. :lala:
