Why would you put a stock hood back on?

I've been in a less is more phase for a while now. I do somewhat like the hood and i've had it for 20 years, but in general i'm not a big fan of aftermarket hoods. Chances are, when i get the car painted i will have them paint a new hood and the one i have.
When i purchased mine, my original was dented and i couldn't find a stock fiberglass hood and figured a 1.5 was the next best thing. It's subtle but noticeable (which is why i'm always on the fence with the idea)
Cervini's hoods are higher quality, so they are by no means light but they retain the safety latch and as far as i know you don't need hood pins, which are something i really despise.
The weight is closer to a stock hood and nothing like those super light weight hoods that twist and bend and look like they are going to come unlatched at 60mph. when i was a kid and put the hood on, i really didn't do the math on the weight savings, which is nearly nothing.
I'm 6'1 so i can easily see over it. But there is no chance i personally would want a 2 or larger considering i barely want a 1.5.

I've seen terminator swaps fit with the bracing cut out of the middle of the stock hood for the supercharger pulley. But these swaps are all very different so i don't think anything is a sure thing.

Hey man I know this is an old thread but I couldn’t direct message you for some reason. Do you mind sending me some pictures around your car showing this wing? I’m interested in it for my car.

Is Dynacorn reputable for replacement hoods? They have a stock height and 2” cowl steel hoods with vents up by the cowls that are not too expensive. Since I have to paint my hood anyways I’ve been mulling the idea of getting a small cowl hood and the integrated vents are a little bonus.

Keep it simple - PDR the hood and change the screws for something with a shorter head.

What changed with your motor combo that it now impacts/interferes with the hood?

I know the sell.a stock hood in aluminum.
