Default what hood?

If this were your car, what hood would you put on it. My wife likes the salleen style but not the scoops. Any opinions would be appreciated.

I had never considered a certain hood before because I thought it looked like crap. However, I saw that hood a few weeks ago on a mustang and it looked so freakin hotttt. The hood just made the car look so damn aggressive along with the cervini ducktail. The hood was the cervini ram air hood.

I like my hood. I've always liked the reverse scoops.

I really dig the new Cervini's '67GT500 style ram air hood(and it's cheap too-under $500) and it can be had with a ram air intake kit so it's functional(unlike so many other hoods). My next hood!

That's a nice looking hood. I accidently posted the same photo twice so I added a front shot under the attachments. Thanks

Is that windveil blue GT yours mcstang? Love those S/S Cragars! I'm thinking about getting the 20" versions at some point in the future, I currently have the 18" polished factory Bullitts. That car in the Cervini ad is windveil blue as well(although the billet grille on your pics look much nicer).

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.

Hey Red Stangguy: Does that rise in the Cervini hood provide any room for the engine bay (my Saleen is rubbing the hood)? Thx.
