Just go with what looks best for you. It's your ride just please please please dont buy a hood with a ridiculous non functioning hood scoop, thats as bad as putting a nitrous bottle in the trunk and not having any lines for it.
Also remember a larger cowl hood will take away a little from your forward vision. I also reccomend hood pins for any carbon or fiberglass hood for safety.

Those screens look pretty ugly IMO.
They need to be painted black.
If I had that hood, I'd put some stainless weaved mesh in those slots.
Like some of the Jags have on their grilles, only smaller weaves.

It is a good looking hood though.

yeah those screens do need to be painted black.. I thought it might look ok not painting it when I got my hood done but hated the look once it was done.. glad I painted it in the end. I actually thinking of pulling it out all together and just leaving it without it... can't wait to see what it looks like friday with th gt500 front end!

That'd be the day I let some chick (or anyone else for that matter) lean on my hood.....

I have a 4 inch cowel from Cervini.As stated above, a4 inch cowel for regular street use, does limit forward vision, especially sharp right hand turns. My car has very limited street use. 95% track and 5% street (just enough to keep it legal)
