i know it doesn't go with the lines, but a 2k cobra 6 hood would get my vote.

I think the 4" looks dumb unless you need the room under the hood. 2.5" looks nice and clean.

I prefer stock, especially if it's not a drag car, but if you're definitely getting a hood, 2.5-3" is the way to go unless you need 4" for clearance. Cobra R hoods don't flow and usually look like garbage on foxes imo, and the one with the svo scoop is even worse.

My friend had a 4" on his Mustang and it looked like total ass and was hard to see around. It was also really pointless on an otherwise completely stock car.

I like the Cervini's Cobra R hood the best. Im not too concerned about air flow and Id really just be getting it for looks.
