What size cowl induction should I use?

I'm thinking of using this scoop>>> eBay Motors: New 49 1/2" Cowl Fiberglass Hood Scoop (SC16) (item 4643102592 end time May-29-06 20:31:02 PDT)

which one of these would be the best size to go with? I don't want to buy a scoop and have it look completely retarded. So if anyone has cowl induction scoops on there 3rd gen firebirds...tell me which size would look best. Thanks


24 1/2" Wide x 49 1/2" Long x 2 1/2" High

38 3/4" Long x 25 1/8" Wide x 2 1/4" Tall

41 5/8" Long x 25 1/2" Wide x 2 1/2" Tall

IHI has one molded in.....tons of work. you should go outside with a tape measure and put down masking tape for the various sizes and see what you come up with
