Default Hood Restrictions?

Hello Cleveland!......... ok nm ill get right to the point....

i live in virginia and would like to know what the "legal" (ha) limit for hood heights are. (even though im not gonna care about what my state thinks it should be)

i have the whole cervinis kit and i have some pieces on already and painted. im just debating whether to get the hood that comes with the kit or get the 4" cowl hood since hopefully the xchargers' intercooler is comming out soon and maybe you need a bigger hood eh? ha

any answers on the "legal" limit would be nice thanks lol

I live in VA too and have seen some after market hoods on Mustangs, but you do have a good question. Best thing to do would be to contact the Virginia State Police.
