C4 Cowl Induction Hood

Hey Guys, I put a cowl hood on my car. It's a Toledo Pro hood, and the fit and finish were real good. And the paint job and paint match turned out nice. I think it really finished off the looks of the car, plus it's about 20lbs lighter than a stock hood.

This is the 2 3/4" cowl, the shorter one. I don't know exactly what it would cost, I traded the paint work with a friend that owns a bodyshop.

That really completes your car
The sweep of the scoop almost perfectly matches the sweep line of the fender. That height looks just right, not too tall.
Car looks sinister.

Can I have your wheels?

Hey Wayne, it will probably be a bit before I can make it to the track... to many other things going on.

Looks real good.

About other pictures, I have always wondered what the cowl hoods look like from the driver's seat. If you happen to have a picture of it with the hood closed from the driver's seat, I would love to see it.

Thanks
