Default Need help finding a new hood.

Finally getting the hood damage fixed, but I can't decide on a hood. I'm leaning toward a 3" cowl, but I'm looking for other options. I like the design of the stock hood, but hate the stick on scoop. Are there any hoods that look similar to that? Like a cowl hood with a scoop or something?

I like that last link you posted a lot. Anyone have any other pics of it? Will it fit perfectly?
I'm in the market for a new hood as well. I really like the TRUFIBER's venom hood too but I can't find it cheap anywhere.

I'm leaning toward Trufiber's 3" cowl hood, but their site says I'll have to have hood pins. Yuck.

Almost all aftermarket hoods are going to need them. I ordered at paint of Quick latch mini flush pins for mine and am going to paint them to match. I didnt want to use them so I found the smallest one possible.

I have a trufiber hood. you DO NOT need hood pins. The only reason that is there is so they are not liable if something happens. You will see a lot of people with aftermarket hoods without them. Just adjust the bump stops accordingly. Personally I love that hood, it really complements the aggressiveness of the new front ends!
