Default Pics of wingless cars w/cowl hoods?

Did a search a found a few pics, but I'm wanting to see this setup from different angles. There aren't many pics of cars with cowl hoods to begin with. Thanks everyone.

A cowl hood on a fuel injected car just isn't right. They need to go away like window louvers.

So with your reasoning Stock WS6 and SS should remove their "ram-air" hood since they arent sealed directly to the intake? Stock GTO's, Z28, T/A, WS6, Failhawks, should remove their spoiler because they dont need it for legal use? C5Z06's should remove their rear brake duct because it doesnt really help us in any way? cars with foglights should remove their fogs and only install them when fog rolls in? with your reasoning none of that is right....


uhmmmm.....riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.....

I use the hood to remove hot air from the engine.

here's mine. Cowl hood is lighter and vents the engine bay better than stock. Oh yeah it looks awesome too. Put that in your pipe and smoke it LOL!.

Sorry for the crappy camera phone pic.

Same reason why I made my cowl hood. The amount of underhood heat that comes out of it is amazing.

It doesn't really do that. Especially when you're moving. It's for looks, we all know that. That's cool. Just my opinion it doesn't look right on a car with the intake in the fenderwell.

Sometimes more room is required for items needed for fuel injection. Now go away and play elsewhere.
