No because there are few if any hoods other than a normal cowl over 2.5 inches for our cars. Id kill to have either the pro touring hood or the Jonbloed/Sunoco hood in 3.5-4".

The daytona hood is not the best looking hood, but certainly not the worst either. Still not a fan of it though. A normal cowl is still the way to go IMO. But if you want to stand out, then go for it.

Re: Daytona hood question...

Same number of people that make 4" daytona hoods.

I actually like the daytona, but only because it is as high as it is.

The pro touring hood is fairly low towards the firewall.

Might look into the sunoco hood. According to the manufacturer it's sold as 2,5" hood but the cowl gradually rises towards the rear and centre and it should be close to 3" or even 3,5" towards the firewall.
