probably arent many pics out there since those hoods pretty much eclipse sunlight..lol I had a 4" Harwood on my first camaro and as long as you dont need to see anything but what directly in front of you, you should be fine..Hence, 'OFFROAD USE ONLY' Also, pulling into gas stations was a little hairy with those big yellow poles sticking up and you cant see your fender on the pass side. You might be better off if youre taller than 5'9" Ill see if i can find a pic of one for you though...

I have a 4" WS6 hood on my '00 Trans Am and I got me one of those WWII leather fighter pilot helmets with the goggles and just drive with my head out the window! OK not really but that sucker is HIGH. I'm 5'10" and I had to raise the seat as high as it could go and still need to get me a NY City phone book or a periscope. It just looks so damn mean from outside that I'll sacrifice function for form! Has plenty of space for gauges to mount in the cowl...

I've got the 5" lift off on my car and have two gauges hiding under it. I should add that mine is the NON-slop hood. I have a blind spot on the front right corner and I'm 6'1. This is the only hood that would clean the carb and air cleaner


Here is a pic of the gauges with the hood off(don't have one with the hood on)



From the front, I should add that this hood fits like garbage and there is no way to get it to line up. The covers on the headlights are not bolted down, they are just sitting on there FWIW
