did a quick search on google, 'import hoods' probably find a better one or even a different one with more time to search.

Instead of a cowl hood, have you thought about any type of hood vents?

www.carbontrix.com has some really nice hood vents that can be used as heat extractors. Over in the right hand column there is a link for vents and air ducts. There are several to choose from. Just a cheap alternative to a hood.

Lots-o-coin for those! Some how I don't see carbon fibre on one of Grumpy's cars :smile: How about some hood vents off a 3rd gen T/A?

90 bucks compared to how many hundreds for a cowl hood though.

Wheather or not it is ricey or whatever, it can always be prepped and painted and these pieces work wonders. :biggrin:

or just shim the back of the hood like we did in the old days

Dan, I already have it shimmed some in the center. There's a little brown rubber snubber screwed to the cowl. Maybe you can go with alot more. Dave

Sorry Dan. IBM has me on a 12 shift, Friday, Saturday & Sunday. I have today off. I'll take some pics. The price I gave you doesn't even cover my paint and shipping expenses, much less the scoop. Dave C.
