    If you go with the large one i'll take the small one off your hands :). Oh and if it's not too much of a hassle, I've had an idea about using the CJ style hood offset to the pass. side like on the XWGT falcons in Australia. I just wonder what that would look like on our cars. If you don't mind snapping a quick pic I'd be most appreciative. Thanks.

    The Large one looks better to me.

    I like the large one. The smaller one would be good if it were a shaker.
    I know it won't look good and it's a strange request.. Can I see the large one on backwards?

    I like it without the scoop, the stock flat hood looks good on it's own. If anything, like Craig said, keep it centered.

    Is that a comet GT hood scoop or an early 80s mustang scoop?​

    Markso125 GOOD eye, it's a 80's Mustang scoop. I think I'm going with the 69 Mustang scoop ( the wife likes that one )

    go with the smaller scoop but do the cutouts in the back and put the turn signal replicators in the back of it. They just look awesome. Look at Mavaholics car for example
