It seems like the cowl would fit the body lines more if it wasn't as curvey.

Looks great, but I fancy the stock hood. Unless you need it I wouldn't go for that big of a cowl. Personally I like the lower profile cowl hoods.

My opinion is that nothing looks better than the iroc hood with the black louvers. I do not like cowl and ram air hoods, especially on a ragtop.But i may be the only one who thinks that way.....

Could not agree more! unless you got something under the hood that you really need the cowl for.

I like the IROC hood with the black louvers. But, if you like the cowl hood, I'm glad you got what you wanted.
