Why don't you just buy a fiberglass cowl hood? It saves over 100 lbs

You got pics of the car with the 3" one I cant decide how high to go

Mrbanados

Takes a lot of weight off of the front end, only weighs like 10lbs at the most. I have 4 hood pins and I just take it off when working on the car. Makes getting to things a lot easier.

First off the glass hoods can weight from around 20 lbs to 40+ depending on stylr and who made it. Factory hoods are closer to 60lbs so your not saving 'over 100lbs', That just ludicrous

Buy a replacement hood don't try to add a scoop. Make sure its bolt on. Harwood makes a good hood with a 2" cowl. Vfn makes a good 4.5" cowl which I have. Be VERY CAREFUL with eday hoods and anything made my extreme dimensions. They are total crap and that includes the one you linked to.

duraflex hoods are by extreme dimensions I would say to you stay away from them here is the last one I bought from them and it was for my car I had to pay to ship it to me and then to return it a total of $395.00 in shipping for nothing they said they would refund the shipping to send it back but I never got it???????????????????????

Yeah it looks like its all warped out of place.
I was looking at maybe getting one of those bolt on steel or fiberglass cowels, and welding and bolting it on & and possibly reinforcing the subframe of the hood? I kinda want to reuse the stock hood just because of cost effectiveness I'm not incredibly worried about weight so long as it stays under about 50 pounds or so
