Yeah, but with a pro stock, or pro mod style on top of it. Building a drag car and the motor has a tunnel ram. i dont want the intake just out in the air. So I'm looking for a pretty aggressive look.

With the style of car you are building, I would think you are a little limited on your choices. Maybe making your own hood scoop is an option??

I'm gonna graft a scoop on top of a cowl hood. That is about my only option. I'm just looking for some pictures of one with a similar set up.

Yeah, but on a C-3 and one where the hood and scoop are one piece. But that is the style I was talking about.

Best I could come up with! I was thinking there was a company making what your looking for. Maybe I am wrong?

This appears to be added to a stock hood, and doesn't look too bad.

Yeah, thats close. But I'm wanting one that comes back and hugs the contour of the windshield. Thanks for all the replies and pics everyone. It really helps me decide what to do.

If you want a car to look purpose built for the 1320 in the 1990's and to dazzle the kids at the biffy burger on cruise night then install that pro street scoop,
If you want something that will both clear anything you can put under the hood and look all cool modern and restro rod then keep shopping....

Thats why I'm looking for the pro mod and pro stock aero design. Not the one with the round opening. I'll look for some pics to post

Something like this. What ever I put on will have the shape that hugs the windshield.
