do you think my car would look good with a 4 inch cowl hood. my 2 1/2 inch hood will not close with the new motor. i dont think it would look good, but what other choice do i have. please let me know what you think

I think you should let me make love to your car

But seriously YES. I like the look of 4 inch cowls....anything bigger is ugly. IMO though the 4inch cowls look ALOT better with the updated gfx....dunno man.....get a photochop done

i don't want to change the ground effects or the spoiler. the more i look at the 4 inch hood the more is grows on me. im deffinately lookling at the harwood and glasstek.

i think that hood looks really good on your car. are you using the factory hood shocks on that hood.

harwood. I actually molded that into the stock rs hood since i didn't care too much about it. I didn't need the hood so i let it go and got most of my vision back on the road lol.

a 4" can look alright i just dont think it looks as smooth...if you go with a 4" cowl get a hawks 5" spoiler or a highrise to compliment it better.

if you can pass with a 3" cowl then id go with that...

beautiful car btw

yep just like steve said. high rise spoiler on the back = sporty look. Cowl = more racey. Cowl & tail go together
