My car is a daily driver and I want a bigger cowl for looks and because I might install a intake spacer gasket on my new engine going in soon so just something simple is fine. My brother pains cars for a living so he was gonna paint it for me.

Fiberglass hoods suck I have owned 3 different ones and they all required extensive prep work before painting. Not to mention you have to run hood pins cause if the hood flexes at high speeds it can fly open and smack the hell out of your car resulting in a ruined cowl panel and windshield. I know from experience.

I strongly suggest you get a metal cowl hood. Sure its a little heavier but the Pros of the metal hood greatly outweigh the cons of a fiberglass hood.
