Re: show off your hood

I have a 4" also and it does take away a decent bit of sight, but I don't think a 3" would be that much better. Looks like this is the best recent picture I have with the hood:

Re: show off your hood

I'd love to get a sunny day to get better pics, but haven't been too many lately. Here's my hood, though.
