I know what I am doing when it comes to choosing the best mods for these cars, IMO.
Barf...sorry.

Moving on, I like your hood from some angles, but seeing pictures of that hood, I have felt that there wasn't enough of a difference from stock to justify the cost (cowl not high enough, no vents, etc). That is why I wanted to do something different.
Maybe you can prove me wrong though. Does your hood really look a lot more aggressive in person? I have never seen one in person, I am just going off of pictures on the net.

I was actually thinking more along the lines of 2.5" total cowl height, which is in fact only 1" higher than the EC Cowl Hood. Keep in mind we all have a different eye for these types of things.

The more that I look at that Cobra hood the more I am starting to agree with you that it could like awesome just like that. It might be easier to get this done with a hood that is already existing...

Edit: Nevermind -- I found out that this is a Cervini's Hood. Now I don't know if I should try and contact Cervinis to see if they could put this cowl design on a Cadillac CTS hood, or if I should just pay the $500 for this actual hood, then buy a CTS hood off of Ebay for $250 and take both to a local body shop and see if they could slap the cowl onto the CTS hood...

I am currently trying to get a nice photoshop of this Cervini's hood on a CTS-V. I have a guy on the other forum that is working on it for me. I'll post the photoshop when it gets done.

Here is the Photoshop. Very special thanks to Cad4life and tommy compton (on the Cadillacforums.com) for offering up their skills to help me out here.
Alright guys, take a nice, long look at these pix and let me know if this hood doesn't look really cool on this car. I am going to keep with this until I get 4 other guys interested, so please bear with me. Remember, I have already been in contact with Extreme Composites (actually a guy named Jimmy ***) and they can make this hood for us V and CTS guys if they get enough money up front to cover their R&D costs.
Let the comments continue...I hope some people like it.

That exact hood was actually the original idea that I had, but most people thought that it was too aggressive and the cowl height was too tall. I really like that hood, but after much deliberation, I do think that the Mustang-style hood fits a little better with the car. I would need five people to be in on this so I have to come up with a design that most people like.
cut the cowl height in half or even less? or what do you think about having the scoop merge out of the hood like this link? just an idea?
