Default What Hood to Get? Need your Pics/Advice

Well fellas, I'm finally getting tired of my stock, bent hood. Yeah, I bought the car and the hood was kinked in the middle (thinking front end accident) and the hood doesn't sit right. I am interested in cowl hoods but don't know which is better for me? 2", 3", etc. This is my non daily driver, street car. I was wondering if you fellas and ladies with non stock hoods could please post some pics of your cars and what hood exactly is on your car?

Might wanna check your state law on hood heights. I know here in VA its 2.5" max on cowl.

Sorry, I have an 88 GT Hatchback. And stangcrazy, your right. I do live in VA, but when I called the state police, they told me no more than 3" above where the stock hood would have been. So I figure if the cop is in a bad mood, he is going to find something to give me a ticket about.
