I went with the cowl. i thought it was alot better look on my car (challenger) since the cowl started at the front of the hood rather then 12" back like most you see

Taller AAR sounds interesting, but I've never seen one. Then again I kinda like cowl hoods. 1.Great help, aren't I? 2. There ya go, 4 opinions. I win!!

Or order a flat hood and keep my scoop. First of all ...why a new hood ? And is the scoop choice going to be based on looks or performance? What is the engine/intake/carb combo? .. how fast is the car? ... do you know where the "good-air" IN on the car?

Not worried about air or anything. its a slow bracket car. going for looks.
