yeah those hoods are overkill... only exception i would make is if you needed it for clearance issues under the hood... kills the **** out of your vision out the windshield too... you should be able to find someone to buy it fairly easy and buy a different one that suits the car better

Nice car. Looks good. Can't blame you on the hood tho. Not my cup of tea, but a very sexy ride!

Yes, that hood is rather large. How well can you see?

Throw some strano springs and Koni's on it, it would look pretty sweet. That car reminds me of Forza 3 cause that's the exact hood you can get on the trans am in that game.

I've seen quite a few stock cars look that high off the ground before.
