Whatever hood you decide on, just make sure it lines up well. Any hood can look bad if the leading edge hangs out in the wind. Hear are 2 examples:

As soon as I went with the airgap manifold I knew I was going to hit trouble, even with a drop base filter, so an L88 short hood its got to be (Still with the paintshop in my sig) and thats not a bad thing as I see it.
