It was hard to see around the 4" on my friend's '98 GT and Im 6'3" and my friend is 6'5".

I dont know why he put a 4" hood on a completely stock car anyway.

i have a 3" on my 94. im getting ready to post an exhaust vid from me inside the car so you will be able to see what it looks like. foxes you could do a 4" but on a sn95 it will just look retarded.

the only problem i have with a 2.5" is going up one hill in my townthathas aright hand turn directly at the top, you get a good couple seconds of not seeing much to your front and right, i'm always nervous i'll destroy my rim onthe curb

I have never had a problem with the 4", and I'm 6'2", on the other hand, it is rare that those who use the large cowl's actually need them. Me, I think they add a nice look to the car. Just my opinion.
