You suck,(insert lick if you wish) I want one of those hoods so bad! By nostrils are you referring to the scoops? I wanted one with no scoops, so will the hood be A-OK for me? I'm the same height as you. [sm=smiley20.gif]

Well, I do sit up nice n close to the wheel.
Just because I have more control over it then sitting in the back seat.
So seeing over it has NEVER been a problem
I'm about 5'11" or 6'
something around there.
I Have had complaints from the passenger seat.
But truthfully, it's not hard to see over it at all.

And yes it's a 4" Cowl

With my 2.5 when I had the stock seats in.From age of the seats and the foam falling apart. I had a hard time seeing over mine.Now that I put APC racing seats in its like looking over the factory hood.
