Look what I found in the SVT and DOHC forum on the Corral:
"Gauging interest here. If 30 people are down, HO Fibertrends will make a 22-25lb hood using the mold of the stock 96-98 hoods. Price would be along the lines of the R hood. This is perfect for people looking to take weight off the front end but not loose the nostril fascia on the stock 96-98 snakes.
Anybody with me?"

Here is a link to the post, please help spread the word. I personally think the 96-98 Stock hood is the best looking one for our cars. Please and Thanks!

I posted in that thread, if I paid the money for a glass hood, it should be a little taller, to stand out of course. I think keeping the same look with a raised cowl would be hard. but if they can or do I might at some point. just kinda hard to justify from what I have seen as a nightmare in fitment, and painting on top of that, atleast a grand, to get it right. that might be a little high, but I have seen more problems with them, than with the extra weight. my 2 cents

I too posted in that thread. I'm looking for a 1"-1.5" cowl version that keeps the multi-piece scoops, the bulge, and even the peaks at the edge of the cowl.
I also wrote HO fibertrends and sent the a 2-d drawing of what I was looking for. They said said they might would make one if there was 10 people interested to purchase one.

Actually it was just a simple line drawing done in paint. It's on my computer at work and I don't have e-mail at work. Maybe I can try and get it on this computer somehow! I'll see what I can do. Maybe we could get one pf the photoshop gurus in the virtual body shop to do some magic.
