I'd say get a cowl hood. I don't care for the scoop that much.

Either if ya want that one mold it in to the hood and make it functional or (perferred by me) a cowl biggest id say is a 4 inch... MAYBE 4 1/2

I'd say a 3" max. Do a search for cowl hoods on here, you'll find many pics of 3" and one of a 4" I believe.

Cowl hood would weigh less and look better.

I don't like it. I like cowl hoods, but not too high. 2" would look better.

2in cowl hood.... short cowl's look awesome on camaros. That was what I was planning for the RS before I found the Formie...

I saw a thirdgen with one of those 2nd gen scoops on the hood.... it looked awful.. horrible.... worse in person than it did it could ever look in a picture

I don't think that's my style either, but if you like it that's what counts. I'll agree with those who said a 3 inch cowl hood. I love the way that looks on Camaros.
