Re: modified stock hood?

have ya thought about getting a cowl hood scoop and molding it to the hood? It would be a somewhat cheaper fix for a stock hood. -Matt

I would recommend you save your money for the hood you really like. I have rarely seen "mold" on type generic cowl look correct on any car. Typically the guys load them up with so much body filler it ends up cracking along the seams and looks worse then just sticking with your flat hood.

Good luck!

What's up dude? Were you able to get that hood? I was also to get one too but to find out that the hood was meant for 4th gen. It still pisses me off
