Default Found pictures of a cowl hood on a Firebird!

I think 4" is a bit too high, but what do you think about the look of a cowl hood on a bird?

American sports car or what ever they are called makes one. Cowls look good, so long as the car can back it up

Doesn't look good. The 'beak' sticks out too much, doesn't flow well

No. No. No. Please no cowl hood on a bird, if you want something raised go with a raised ram-air hood, those work very nicely with the lines.

Some one around me has a silver T/A with 1 looks weird and unnecessary but I would like to see one on a formula. see how it contrast with the different nose style.

Not liking that look. I dont think a cowl would really work on the firebirds.

if it were a little shorter it wouldn't look quite as funny, I don't think it's that bad... the WS6 RamAir looks better.
