    I have a 4 inch on my car, just a heads up, I'm 6'2 and have trouble seeing the passenger front corner to park. also not sure if a 5inch is street legal, I know my 4inch was close. but with that said, go for it I love my 4inch cowl

    i had a 4.5in cobra RR hood on my 96gt and it was kinda rough seeing the front pass side corner and i'm 6'7". but it looked baddazz so i didnt care.

    Larry (CasperGT) put a 2 1/2" HO Fibertrends on his at NMRA Columbus. Fit perfect, and looks absolutley right on that car. Their stuff is always top shelf, but that hood fit even better than most. I was stunned how perfect it lined up and fit.

    With the Columbus Ford swap coming the weekend after Thanksgiving, you can drive out there, get a show discount, and have no box or freight fee's.

    looks like a 3 or 4 inch, not sure what the cruzinconcepts quality is, but I bought my harwood 4 inch cowl hood from summit racing and it was a pretty good fit, just a lil minor prep work, but overall good quality

    I was just going to say the same thing.

    Go with 3" or smaller. Clean lines ftw :)
