Default New hood suggestions

It looks like I'll be getting a new hood soon due to hail damage and I'm not sure what will look the best. My car is a black daily driver and have no other appearance mods except for deep dish chrome bullets. I really like the Cervinis 67 hood but not sure what it would look like without stripes. I don't know if I would like the 3 points that come forward, but I like the width and low profile of it. I guess I'm just looking for pics of this hood or any other suggestions.

I put Cervinis heat extractor hood on in March. They did the paint and install and I'm very happy with the look. My car is also black and semi-daily driver.

Don't know if its just the angle of that picture or what but that almost looks like a hood for a GT500 judging by how it looks like there is a lip over the front bumper???


OP, 3 inch cowl all day!

Its just the angle, there is no gap or space like there would be with a gt 500 hood. The body lines of the car and hood match up nicely.

jerzy, do you have a pic from the side so I can see how it flows with the car.

I'm not sure about a cowl hood. I think I'd need to see one in person.

I'll charge up the camera tonight and post some pics tomorrow after a wash, car is kinda dirty now. I wanted something different from a cowl hood they are nice but it seems like everyone has one here in South Jersey lol.

I would also like to see some pics from different angles/views... This has been one of my favorite hoods for the S197. How do the vents look? I assume that they are functional?
