Default Need help w/custom hoods

Hello everyone, I have a 2002 6sp convt. I would like to install a custom hood something with a little more paizs. I don;t have a Maggie so I don't need clearance. If I could get some pictures of anyone's hoods that would make my decision to be a lot easier. Also if you can include the vendor and ease of installation and fit. I'm hoping to do this within the next week or so. Thanks for you;re effort.

Lingenfilter hood, Purchased from Ecklers.

The fitment couldnt be better if it was from the factory. The install from 10 being the hardest and 1 the easiet. I give it a 1.

I too am searching for a new hood. I will be installing a supercharger soon, and need to research what hood will fit the best and look the best.

STL94LT1, What is the purpose of the vent on the hood? Is there clearance for a Maggie or a Kenne Bell?
