Why not the Cervini's 2.5 Cowl?

I had a feeling the cowl would win, and I was leaning that way anyways too. And as far as the Cervini 2.5" cowl, well I didn't even know they made it. Nowhere I looked carried them. Also, here is a picture of my car, for reference:

Just a note on saving you some $$$

Regardless of whatever you decide on, you need to consider the cost of installation and quality. Cervinis hoods are by consensus the best quality in the industry. For you, that means less prep time by your body shop and lower cost of installation. Thats given you dont just get it prepainted by cervinis and bolt it on.

Also, ALOT of people getting large cowl hoods complain about the lost sight lines... It makes me uncomfortable at times and the type iv has a 2" rise at max
