I personally think the cowl hood looks better than an L88 on a thirdgen. I have a 4" cowl on mine. I have seen the L88's on 2nd gens and I think they look good on those. Just my opinion.

As far as steel or fiberglass goes,there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Fiberglass is a lot lighter,but will never be perfect unless hours of work are put in to it to make it as straight as a steel hood. Steel hoods on the other hand,are much heavier,but are much straighter than glass hoods. Just thought this might help a little.

I aked Rex Orr at ASCD about the rise height, he said they're about 2-1/4" for the SS & big block hoods and their cowls 2 1/2 " and 4". I think I'm probably gonna go with either the 2.5" cowl from them or a goodmark steel hood. Anyone know of another company that makes a steel cowl hood?

 

not sure about the steel hoods, but my next one will be the ASCD bigblock. i would have keep the first one, but i sold the car to my little bro(not to little, 6'1 215). he hit a deer back in the fall, and all it did was put some hair line cracks in it!! it pushed the nose down a little, which he fixed, and knocked all the paint off the nose. these are very stong hoods, for fiberglass. their reinforced underneath. a little lighter than steel, but not much. he has a turbo hood on his junkstang and when you hit 100+ mph it looks like its going to explode. guess you can tell i like the ASCD hoods best. plus they are only about 25 miles away for me. dont have to worry about shipping.

 

here's some pics of the 2" Glasstek cowl hood on my car http://screamindeamin.cz28.com/images/jesse/

Later,
Jesse
