I didn't like the fact most hoods in this poll just had vents. You can add vents to most any hood.

Then you should like the ACP, it is similar in the center, rises up then cuts into engine bay in the front for venting.

Why no cowl induction? Best looking hood on a C-4 in my opinion

Mobil 1 (blue) gets my vote. Nothing's cooler than a raised hood.

From the pics I have seen that one does not have a raised cowl.
The ACP does and the DRM somewhat harder to see at those angles.

You can see the cowl rise on the ACP in these pics.

This has the highest rise of any of the hoods in the poll.

I pick #4 if the vents are moved out over the wheels (the center vent will let out the hot air and pressure from the radiator so adding extra vents in the engine compartment, before venting the wheel well area seems out of order to me). I might mod #4 to slightly enhance (increase) the two natural raised areas (to make the car look better [don't need extra room for the engine]).

I'm down with 3,4,or 5. I think a small rise about 3/4"-1" in the design would also help. Thanks for taking this on, hope you know you, you cant give everybody everything. Whatever 2 you can get made I'll buy one

I thought that one looked familiar.

I always had a soft spot of the wider high-rise.
