Yeah, get a good quality hood.
Some companies dont even fully line up.

And as for the Cobra R hood on a fox...
Still think it looks way too goofy to be on there.

If you have a notchback, a nice subtle cowl like a 2.5" is very sexah.
Love the look of the 4" on my gt, but you drive an LX.
I could always unbolt my lx's hood and plop on my cowl to see how it'd look.
Could even snap a pic if you begged hard enough.
But Do I Really want to go through all that trouble in the rain when unbolting FOUR!!! bolts from the heavy stock hood?
