    Cuda Cowl Hood
    « on: March 28, 2007 - 10:23:48 PM »
    OK. So this is one that should put a few of you purists into a fit. I have never seen an ebody with a coel hood. If its a Chevy thing then why can Mustangs have it? i found the hood and the car photos in the net and "Photoshoped" them toghether. Wuddaya think???

    That's not a good idea.  It doesn't matter what the 5.hos are doing and that look is nice on a Kamereo but I think that is just wrong. Sorry to the people that run those hoods but E-bodies have such a great choice already, I don't think adding Chevy to the mix is right  :dunno:

    Not for my tastes but if you like it, you know the rest. :thumbsup: Thing with after market hoods, especially fiberglass, is the gaps and lines are so hard to get 100% right. I'd go so far as to betting anyone on board with one doesn't have it flush, they all have the bad gaps.

    Nice photoshop by the way.  :2cents:

    I guess none of you saw that limegreen, decked out Cuda for sale for awhile on the net about a year ago. I saw it in car ad magazines and everywhere. It had this hood and looked bad ass. I say go for it.

    I think I would go with the ARR hood before the Cowl hood, but it is your car.

    So you put in a 4" cowl hood and then graft a pair of R/T scoops to the side of it. Best of both worlds that way.

    I don't like the looks of it, but if you do, my opinion doesn't matter.  I say do what you like.  My Challenger is going to end up with an Air Grabber hood, just so you know it's not the purist in me talking.

    I'm going against the grain here. I really don't mind it, although just not on that AAR!   :stirpot:
