    Right now ive got the option to buy a hood from gtp owner. He currently has 2 and i need help deciding on one. The choices: GTX or Cowl.
    These are just examples not the actual hoods. He is selling one and keeping one.

    I love cowl hoods, but for some reason I don't like them on GP's.

    Agreed. The openings in the GTX hood seem to fit the theme of the Pontiac style front end. It just flows better.

    I think it's the curves on a GP that don't look right with a cowl hood. Plus that cowl hood looks like it belongs on a Mustang not a GP. There is a cowl hood that has vents like the GTX that looks good.

    Out of the two shown, yep GTX me too. I would want to modify either. A shorter more rounded (like the originals) cowl might look better IMO.
    All Grand Prix, all the time. 69 Model J, 99 GT & GTP coupes. All junk, haha.
