As other hoods are offered, sometimes there needed which is understandable.

I really favor the stock hood over any aftermarket one.

Stock... unless you're adding a Maggie or KB supercharger...

And in that case I like the RK Sport (Magnacharger/Callaway) because it's the least gaudy. The big hoods remind me of a guy wearing a gold chain.
