I am ready to pull the trigger on a six pack hood but i see two different styles. From all of the pics i have been looking at on google, etc, i see a style with a raised body line in front of the scoop (like the body line on a stock flat satellite hood) and some that are just flat (like on a stock flat roadrunner hood). I want the exterior of the car to look just like an A12 car so i just need to figure out which one i need. Hopefully someone with a real A12 car can chime in. Thanks in advance for any help, Bret

It also has the underside duct work that surrounds the air filter tray and seals against the tray seal. 7574043-new_hood.jpg (136 downloads)

I have an aftermarket hood close to me for sale and looks just like this one with the body line and looks the same underneath with the boxed in ducted area. Thanks to your expertise, I will go ahead and buy it. Thanks again, Bret
