Default How would you fix this problem? See the pic!

First see my car: http://home.comcast.net/~jameskenney1/vette.jpg

My air cleaner stick through the hood about 3 1/8" in the front and 1 3/4" in the back. How would you go about hiding this blemish? The air cleaner is a K&N, sitting on top of a Demon 850 sitting on top of the zz502. Oh yea, my car is a 78, but want to know what my other options are?

I found this on eBay:

ITEM # 260112286116 just in case the link doesn't work.

I think I like the E-Bay hood a lot better than L-88 hood for your car.

i went with a vanacor l-88 high rise and the quality was very good for not much more money than the e-bay special. i cant advise on the e-bay company's quality. it may be fine. it just is a matter of what you like and if you are willing to take a chance on something that has not been tested. i can give you a thumbs up for vanacore products as i have experiance with them.
