Default New late model hood poll-Let me know

Please keep all correspondence to this thread, in this thread and the author will answer any questions here in the form of a post.
Thank you,

I would like opinions, ya or na if this is something that would interest you 99-04 people.
I just want to keep the thread simple and as a new product poll.

So here we have several pictures of the one off hood which is based on the popular cobra R 2000 model hood but is modified with a ram air nostril in the front.
Hood vents are already functional, I really couldn't see to much more function in the front nostril besides the looks.
But let me know what you guys think.

Im gonna have to say no. Maybe from a different angle without flames on the hood or something I would change my mind but as of right now, no.

I don't like it, but my taste is old school.

i'm afraid i agree......i don't like it. the "ram air" opening can't possibly be functional and it certainly doesn't improve the looks.

I like the hood, but I really don't like the added "Ram Air Nostril" in the front.

I like the custom flames. I thought that a ram air vent has to face in the direction of the incoming air to be called "ram air."

Im a big fan of the heat extractor hoods that came on the 03/04 cobra as well as the 04 Saleen SC. Beautiful!

you can go wrong with a modest Cowl Hood. 2.5-3in looks sexy on any stang!
