I used to dislike the cobra r bumper. But i've really grown to love it on certain cars. I'd put the cobra r back on, and get a cobra r hood or 2.5" cowl. I think cobra r front bumper + cowl hood and a steeda wing scream track car. I love the all business auto x look of that setup.

one bit of advice I always give people is when modding a car, have a plan and know what you want the end result to be. This way you don't go in circles replacing parts over and over. The OP probably could have planned a little better or maybe his taste has changed, either way it's his car and ultimately his money so there is no need to get all worked up over it. I personally think in the end the car will look much better than it did before but he obviously at one time like the way his car looked before (b/c he wouldn't have wither bought it like that, or changed it to that), so he probably don't look at it as a waste of money.

Normally, I'd agree with you and say go for suspension and power, but IMO that hood's gotta go.

On the few cars I've seen a 4" cowl, I thought they looked great. I know HO Fibertrends has a pic of theirs on a car on their site.

if you kept the cobra R front bumper, you coulda went with a cobra R hood as well.. that woulda looked MEAN...

if you want to do something crazy, F*** the stripes, blackout the roof and get a new hood... BALLR (or maybe im just saying this to you bc thats what i want to do but i dont have the balls to do it)

front bumper looks good, hood needs to go. you can find somebody who is willing to buy it and make some of your money back
