    Im looking into getting a new hood after my motor, and trans rebuild are done but i cant decide which one i like. Im a big fan of the "SD" and the "GTX" style, the car is black as well. Anyone have any input as to which looks cleaner/more aggressive on the car? thanks guys

    SD would be more obvious looking since the scoops are raised, the gtx i think is more subtle since the scoops are recessed into the hood. i vote GTX

    The cowl hood just looks gross...its like bulky..and I vote gtx it looks like it should be there more than any other hoods. To me the other hoods just look like too much...kinda forced

    cowl hoods remind me of 5.0 mustangs for some reason...basically only old school cars to me should have them..

    its just the actual shape of our hoods is no place for the cowl...now on other cars that have cowls, those are more flat hoods that look right, not on the prixs though

    I slapped the Daytona heat extractors on my hood cuz it was cheap and easy to do. If I ever replace it though, it will be with a GTX hood.
