Loose the slow tie hood and it'd be better. 
Are we 12 ?
Yes , I have a cowl hood on my heap.......I even call it a Chevy hood in jest.
But if this is a hang up for anyone because they are popular on another brand , I'd suggest putting down the crayon and asking Mommy for a cookie.
That is one mean looking Cuda. 
to me it has nothing to do with where they came from, pretty obvious they are old jon boats cut down flipped over and bolted to a hood. they are butt ugly any way you look at them

I really like all these cars. Al's is pretty bad ride. Im not a fan of cowl hoods on Mopars but sometimes there just isnt anything better. I think it would look good also if that billboard was satin black.

That car is really sleek and smooth looking. So let me ask you.....do you REALLY think it would LOOK better with a 6 pack scoop, or you say that just because you think it SHOULD have one.........LOL!!!

look better with out a doubt, i have nothing against original chevy cowl hoods they looked great in stock form on chevells etc. but when you get to 4-5-6" aftermarket they are butt ugly on any car

.......LOL!!........ok, you say a cowl looks like an upside down john boat and I think a six pack scoop looks like a boot box with a couple holes hacked in the side............so I guess we will agree to disagree..........LOL!!!

Well, as somebody else said, it probably has a scoop full of carbs..........so your choices are limited. Cowl, pro-stock, or no scoop and let the carbs hang out, with maybe a lexan scoop. ALL this is personal opinion and doesn't really matter anyway, but myself have never been a huge fan of pro stock scoops on small tire cars.
I don't really like most factory scoops either, as they mostly, especially the Mopar stuff, looks like an after thought that was just stuck on there to cover the hole. The exception would be a Shaker. Now while Shakers do look ok, as with most other factory scoops, they don't work well because of the boundary layer bleed off............In English.....LOL!!!......they are all too low and don't draw clean air. At least a properly proportioned and length cowl works

This.
Looking at that car, i'm 100% sure he didn't put that hood on the car because of how it LOOKS. it was put on because it WORKS.
Looks way better than it would with pro stock scoop, or can you imagine, a 8 inch shaker or sic pac scoop? How Crappy that would look, and even work worse.

i'm cool on the cowl hood as long as it has the factory body lines it's cool with me.
