The hood doesnt really take away from a driving point of view at all. It doesnt look as high in the car as it does outside.

I got the hood from these guys here. http://www.lingenfelter.com/store/lpe706.html

I will get pics once the car gets back from the bodyshop. I had t drop it off since There was a small run in the paint on the backside of the cowl.

It looks great from behind the wheel. There is no real obstruction of view as you would have with a normal cowl hood.

You can still see in front of you, and when you have to turn. It doesnt look as high as it doea from outside the car. Over the stock hood, there might be a at most a 2 inch rise.

WOW, YELLOHHH, this is first time we've actually seen pics of your WHOLE car! We typically only saw parts of it, because your pics were humongous.

That's a very cool lookin ride, now that I can see the whole thing, without scrolling.
