Default New cowl hood

Ok, im in the market for a new cowl hood. first of all im debatin over a 3" or 4" hood. which do u guys prefer to see on a Lx hatch?

Also ive been looking around and ive noticed, that some hoods come with a slight slant on the sides of the cowl, and some dont. i like the look of the slant, does ne1 kno if this is true or am I seeing things and do u know who are the people that sell the hood with the slant?

Merry Christmas to all of you.

Why do you need such a big hood? Looking at the pic of your car its got the stock one, meaning whatever modifications you have fit under the stock one. Im assuming you want a cowl hood for looks. 3" or 4" is overkill and doesnt look good. Id go with a 2" or 2.5" if it actually is just for looks.
