This hood looks great . Is it large enough to fit a Maggie under it ?
Very nice hood . It looks factory
May I ask how much it was? I might have to get one.

Not sure about the Maggie, there is a lot of room under there. Seems to me it was $795 plus shipping. Yea that was it I just looked it up. Here you go.

My recommendation - the Motor City Mold hood. Excellent product - fit, finish and customer service is the best.

Unless these guys are buying it for you, my recommendation is that you buy what you like.

It would have been helpful for these guys to actually post pictures of what they're talking about. I see someone has but the majority have not.

Here are a few different styles:

Partial to my ACI radical high rise hood. If had more funds, probably would have considered the MCM carbon fiber hood, it looks great up or down.

When I figure out how to post pictures, I will post some of my vert. If you look at Fred Hamble's avatar my hood is identical to his.
