i REALLY want them to do something like this, but *maybe* not quite so big -

Horrible choice for a street car....

I'm 6'4" and can barely see over the top of my hood.

@brynnda.... I was considering either the factory/SLP WS6 hood or one of those... Do you know if the air path seals perfectly to a factory air box?
