Default Least obstructive hood

I need to purchase a hood for the magnussen supercharger. I do a lot of autocrossing/track so I am concerned about obstructing my vision. I am currently considering the Motor City Mold hood or the Caravaggio hood. Unfortunately, I have not seen either installed. I am open to other brands.

What hood least obstructs vision and works well with Magnussen charger?

Here is a picture from the drivers seat looking over my MCM hood. I am 5'-9" and held the camera at eye level. Mine is the standard hood, not the supercharger version. I don't know if your supercharger will fit under this hood.

I have the C5MC0106 MotorCity High Rise C5 Hood $1595.00

No problem, taking the picture was a good excuse to sit in the car.

Here is the outside of the car

Very nice. Hood flows really well with the lines of the car.
