ive thought of getting a fiberglass stock hood just to keep the car stealthier, but not because of the looks. I like a simple 2" cowl personally

VFN sells them. $260 or so.

I have to agree with the OP on this. I've been looking at so many different hood designs. I have minimalist design tastes, and every hood I've seen is either WAYYY "over the top", or doesn't flow with the rest of the lines of the car. Some hoods I had been interested in look great at some angles, and bad on other angles (Sunoco, VFN 2" cowl, Ultra Z come to mind). I don't want to make an SS wannabe, so it looks like stock or fiberglass stock is my only real option.

You car is geared more towards the stealth look. I love that look. Throw a set of Eibach's on it to give it the low, mean stance and that'll be on badass car.

The worst is when people mod their cars just based on having something other than stock instead of the actual styling.

Is this a fairly recent addition to their line?? Last I checked (couple of years ago) they ONLY made cowls/SS style/etc. Fiberglass only, or c/f also?

Default oem hood

I like the stock hood for a sleeper look, but that about it, but if something in your mind says, "I like this hood", keep it, you're the one driving it, not us.
