Help me pick my new hood

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.
