I would go with the 4 inch one. They look really nice. Are you planning on installing gauges inside the cowl? If so a smaller one won't work. Here is a photo of mine. Whatever you do don't buy the 7 inch one. It looks way to weird on a Mustang. You won't be able to see very well with it.

i thought it would when i bought it but then i realized, i dont drive looking at my front bumper, i look down the road when i drive. to be honest, i forget i even have a cowl hood from time to time because i look right over it

i like cervini, harwood and ho fibretrends ONLY

different companies advertise differently

a 3" from one company might be the same as a 2 1/2" from another

but my choice is 2 1/2" - 3" unless you NEED more
