Help me pick out a hood

cyberstang5.0 · 07-24-2002, 07:44 AM

Ok, I'm trying to decide on what hood I should get. Let me know what ya'll think.
The reason why I'm inquiring about this is becuase a while back, my hood flew up on me and took a small chunk out of the top part of the cowl. It can be fixed, but I'm not sure if I want to keep the hood design anymore. I want to cut out the front scoop out, but I am afraid that water will get into my engine. My distributor sits right next to the scoop.
I like all three hoods and they look good but I can't make up my mind which one I should stick with.

Here is a pic of my current hood...

Why would you want to get rid of the current one?

The reason why i would get rid of the current one, is cuz I can't cut out the scoop because of the water issue, and it causes an air drag. If I go with a double cowl or a 4" cowl, it's more airodynamic.

How about a shaker?

Do they make em for that body style?

Im thinking about getting one for my 02

I like it with the scoop. Looks pretty cool.

They do make shakers for the fox, but they are based off oof the stock hood. I think a 4 in. is a bit overkill on your car withe the stalker front and all.

The smallest cowl you can go with, or the R style hood. I've had 2 hoods, and I finally settled on the stock one, which has the best fit by far

Unfortunately, my intake spacer just barely allows the hood to close, and has taken out a large chunk of fiberglass on the underside of the hood

Anyways, the point of my rambling is to: Get only what you need
