Default 4 inch cowl to big?

I like the cowl hoods, a part of me likes the big 4" cowl, at the same time i think it stand out to much, i just might go with the 3", what do u guys think?

make a cardbord cutout 4" tall and place it on your hood, then sit in the car.

If you can deal with the veiw then get the 4"... if not get the 3"

Agreed. The 4" looks like a tumor and screams redneck imo. I wouldn't sport a hood like that unless i had the power to back it. Then again there are plenty of people that despise my hood, so it really doesnt' matter. It's all up to you.

Whenever I see this hood (Mike Moran or Harwood, whichever one it is) I can't see how Camaro owners could get any other hood. They are gorgeous, sleek, and bad *** all rolled into one.

I agree, that is definitely a bad *** looking hood!

I'm not too sure about a 4'' hood though seems too big.

Awesome hood man...what is it?

That is really the first hood that I have looked at and thought it flowed amazing w/ the camaro body, and wasnt the SS hood, which is IMO.

While it definitely looks nice on that Black Camaro, that hood screams Mustang to me, as the Mustang had a hood very similiar to that from the factory.

the outside lines KIND OF follow a stock 99-04 Mustang hood.. but that's it.

no fake scoops, bigger cowl, and flowing headlight lines =
