But that last pic you posted does look kind of badass... I mostly like the rims
... Im thinking I want those in the future.

Ohhh, definitely the standard cowl induction my man. That one doesn't look horrible or anything, but I agree with what Justin and Chad said about the "normal" one being better suited because of the body style.
Just don't waste your money on a cheap one from ebay either. It will end up costing you more than paying for a good one to start with.

everyones right about the sharp lines working with the more boxy body lines of a 3rd gen i didnt even think about that before, so i change my answer to normal cowl lol but a low one

I've always liked that Jongbloed hood because the cowl lines up perfectly with where the lights start. And its not too curvy that it interferes with the car's lines. I know I would definitely choose it over the other cowl, although my favorite third gen hood is the IROC Turbo Hood.

i dont know what everyone is talking about with the normal cowl matching a 3rd gen. if the sharp curves are good for 3rd gens why the **** does anyone put one on a 4th gen?
that hood is perfect for the car, the angle of the sides as seen in the first shot are almost perfect with the angle of the doors, etc. and the width is perfect with the space between the headlights. its perfect.
however i do think a normal cowl would look better, not because of the "sharp curves", but for a cowl hood, that ones just too wide.
