Default Cowl Hood?

I'm new to these forums so if this isn't in the right spot, lmk or something, but i currently owned a 81 stang and i'm having a hard time finding a cowl hood for it, or any hoods for it. I just bought a 2 in. spacer for it and i need a cowl hood so it can fit. So if anyone knows where i can get one, please let me know. thanks

Nice thanks, you think that a 4in. cowl would be to big for a daily driver?

Depends on how tall you are.... I had one on my 88 when I was like 15 and about 5'6" and it was OK. Just a pain to make right hand turns though somtimes.... I would say if your taller than 5"6-7 you shouldnt have any problems.

My friend had a 4" on his '98 and it was hard to see around.
