Help me pick my new hood

hillie16 · 08-01-2001, 06:43 AM

I was going with the Cobra RR Hood:

But I found out that the stock height will clear my new intake, I kinda like the Cobra SS hood too:

I like the RR cause it's higher, and mean looking. I like the SS though because I've never seen another car with one...would like the unique look.

I like the Cobra RR hood. I think the SS hood looks funny. That's just my opinion

If your intake clears and you willnot be making any more mods in the next year or so that will increase intake height, go with the SS hood. It is unique, looks good, and you won't be perpetrating with a hood taller than you need it to be.

If the RR hood makes you look faster than you are, then not good. If the SS makes you look slower but stil makes car look great, that's better-- surprise a few people IMO.

But then again, ultimately comes down to what you really want. GET WHAT YOU REALLY WANT.
