Default Aftermarket Hood Thread

Hey guys I went through a huge dilema where I put my Fox up for sale, bought an LS1 Trans Am, then realized I would miss my Fox too much and sold the Trans Am today. Yeah. Now since that phase is over, I am wanting to get a new cowl hood for my 1990, possibly an extended to the windshield one. Can anyone post pics of their aftermarket hoods, price, fitment, etc? Or point me in the direction of a thread already like this? Thanks


Heres my car if you have any suggestions

This was a coupe wheel thread, but its got hundreds of cars with different hoods so it might help:

I have a four inch cowl hood that just bolts on to the stock hinges. Not sure of the brand though. If you go to a 6 inch that reaches the windshield you of course will have a complete bolt on.
If you go with the one that attaches to the stock hinges, make sure you install hood pins!!!
