Actually it's really not to bad with the Harwood 2 1/2".

I agree, but thats not the style I have. I'll get pics tommorow.

Are you serious? I just bought a 2.5 cowl hood for mine. I pick it up tomorrow. You think 2.5" will be hard to see around? Im not that tall, hopefully I wont have to sit on a phone book.

I don't know what size the one I had was because it came with the car. I don't think it was 3" and 2.5" sounds right. But honestly, its totally doable. It's not like you had any visibility to begin with in this cars. And as I said when people commented on how it must be hard for me to see,"Some sacrafices must be made"
Plus, I would usually sit up a little more when I needed to when parking and crap. Whatever, you'll be fine.

If you don't have a budget, I have always wanted this CF DGmotorsports hood, I would paint the top and leave the underside CF.

Well if it did not have the opening it would be almost identical to the harwood, and the thing i dont care for about those, is the side profile which seems to run straight and not follow the curve of the fenders,
granted the harwood looks great from the front i just think that is the
flaw of that particular hood, so coupled together its like a large mouth bass from the front, and incorrect on the sides
