Pics of your cowl hood

In the market for a cowl hood on my 91...

Looking for about a 3", but I would like to see what you guys have. Please attach your pics and let me know how big it is...and if you have problems seeing over your hood.

Here is mine. It's a Harwood 3 inch hood and I like it. No problems seeing over it. Well at least not now. When you install one, it will take some time getting used to it.

3" cervini's cowl, easy to see over. You can tell it's there, but it's not obnoxious.

Nice hoods...Ive been tryin to figure out where I was going to buy my hood...Have had friends who had various issues with thier aftermarketr hoods. How was the fit and finish on the Cervini hood...did it take alot of work to get it ready for paint. Ive see hoods that come with pits, chips, and waves in them. Trying to avoid alot of hassles.

Thanks,
been trying to get it ready for dennys then the power tour but when ever I get a chance to work on it something always comes up got to cruise in it for about 30 min yesterday.... first time this year felt good, reminded me of the foreigner song rev on the red line"got my wheels on the street"
I see that you got yours running hows that going?

EDIT: never mind just saw your post from earlier....sounds like you might have a vacumme leak all those just gettin it started bugs suck but you will forget about them when it gets on the street :lala:

How about the Goodmark Industries' 2 1/2" cowl? Anybody heard anything good or bad about them? I'm debating on whether to get the Cervini or the Goodmark.

Which they say in the instructions to cut to fit your car It's for shipping protection and needs to be cut.
