What do you think of this hood?

I photoshopped a cowl hood onto my 84 Firebird. The pictures of my car were really bad so I hope you get the general idea...

Let me know what you think. I love the design of this hood. I hope to get one someday and a motor to back it up.

Later,

I think it looks badass, to be honest. Not many birds with a cowl hood that i've seen. Looks kinda beefy.:hail:

I love it .. i want a cowl too but yeah that money thing is a big issue. Looks soo nice on that car! If you do that the only other thing you could do to make that car perfect is either gfx from an 84 t/a or a beefed up 350 but that is one nice car.

I wish there were more styles of cowl hoods, like the indy hood from US Body. I have never seen one in real life where as cowl hoods are a dime a dozen, not literally of course.
