Question Stock hood or Cowl hood?

I've been trying to decide if i should go back to stock hood, having a hard time making that decision. Everyone's input would be appreciated. BTW, i have no clearance issues the hood is there just for looks and weighs much lighter than the stock hood.

Go back to stock if you don't need the room.

Flip a two headed coin and pick what you like to be heads.

i always liked the cowl hood on your body style. Being lighter is a plus i guess. you still got the stock hood? if so make the swap and give it a month see if you like it or miss the cowl. If you dont have a stock hood i wouldnt spend the money to get one.

I honestly don't think with how the rest of the car looks that it matters right now.

Seen a few fox stangs nere my area with stock hood and they looked nice, made me think about mine. Seems like my hood draws attention and not the rest of the car. Would like to make sure i got the right hood before painting.

Yes, i still got the stock hood. Takes a little bit to swap back to it but i might have to do it and see if i miss it (good idea thanks).
