RE: what hood?
We're doing a Saleen blower on a car at my work with the Cervini and hit clears fine. Some othe aftermarket hoods I have seen rub in both the front and back near the throttle body.

The only aftermarket hood I'd use is the Saleen aluminum. You can add all sorts of scoops and such to your stock hood to change the look but, I for one, would never consider going fiberglass. They're heavier than our stockers and if they're not, then they're too thin. They will flex more and the paint is more likely to crack from closing the hood, I've seen it many times.They will also shake more at speed.

Yeah, the Saleen hood is like $1500. Crazy if you ask me but there are really limited options. There are alot of scoops and such out there, are you sure your wife doesn't like any of them ? Try Ponybuilder.com
