hey guys, so i plan on buying a cowl hood for my 88lx in the next week or so, but i have yet to decide which size cowl to go with... 2", 3", 4" ect. what do you guys think would lood the best. thanks

 

do you need a cowl hood? stock hood doesnt clear?

 

no prob with clearance

 

ive pretty much already decided where im buying the hood from. can get a 3" bolt on for 169, a 4" for 199 and so on. im just not sure what size to get. i want it to look sexy, but not like a red neck from the sticks. its a beautiful car, mint in and out, dark blue with cobra r wheels. just really want it to flow well with the rest of the car

 

I think a small cowl hood looks really good. For example this 2 1/2 one. Its noticible yet not to big. http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...0%201&comp=LRS

 

thanks for the link any i agree. i looks sexy. just flows right

 

I think a smaller cowl is definitely the way to go, the 2.5" looks really sharp. I hate when people put 4" hoods on street cars that are running a bolt on engine, so gay.

 

Where are you buying your hood from?

 

i love my 4" cowl. looks perfect imo.

here is a pic


i could have gone with a 2.5 just like the 4 better

 

Why bother if you don't need it? especially on a daily driver, it will let water and other stuff into the engine bay.
I have 351 and I am actually putting in motor mounts that are 3/4" shorter so I don't need the bigger hood. I would prefer to run my engine with a stock hood, keeps people guessing but I have to have a cowl hood to clear.
