Hood help

I just bought my car yesterday, and the first mod I think I am going to do is a new hood. Mine has some imperfections in the paint, so I figured I might as well put something different on their and paint it while I'm at it!

Any suggestions? My car is a silver 03'.

Thanks

Dan

I like the Tigershark myself

Made completely of Fiberglass. This hood completes the TigerShark look and even stands out without any other TigerShark components.

All hoods ship from the manufacturer in Topeka, IN. If you're in that area local pickup is available.

If you order business delivery be sure a truck can get in/out of the area. If not it is not considered a business address. We need the name of the business as well.

I ran an original Motor City Mold hood on my '00 for about 6 years. Excellent product but I understand they may not be in business any more - but there are replicas out there. The TigerShark hood as well as others are pretty nice looking.

If you want one of a kind....get an ACI high rise hood and put in either screens or 66 corvette hood vents on both sides of the cowl. It will look good and be functional.

When buying a hood, Make sure you have a plan on future mods, If you plan on getting a Maggie make sure it will fit under the hood you get, Most hoods don't have the room for a Maggie, If you might go Pro Charger in the future you will have a lot more options.
When I buy a hood it will be Maggie compliant as I would like a nice polished Maggie under the hood.
Just my opinion.
