EXACTLY!!! that's the thing with this hood. It just doesn't seem right with a fairly stock/bolt on car, you need to have some oomph to back up the look. FMIC + slicks/skinnies, will pull off the look.

Haha thanks guys, it use to be a cam only/bolt on car but I fixed that now. There was a v6 running around here with the same hood. It maybe had exhaust and that was it. Made me feel better about mine haha.

lol, can't lie, I had a sunoco style hood on my old v6. although it looked good, the look just didn't fit the power... or lack there of lol. Opoosite sleeper FTL. So my mind set has kind of changed on this over the years
