You should post some pictures of the car. It would give us a better idea of what hood would fit better with you paint job and stance of the car. Plus I just wanna see pictures of you car.

What size are those fatties on the back?
Do you have Hijackers to hold it up? Do you have a rough ride? What was that original color? white? Why did you cut the hood? Do you need some kind of scoop? I would try to find a original replacement, but that is just me.

Did you go with a high-rise intake? My Ed. Performer w/Hollie fits tight, but it fits. The new motor mounts raised motor by an inch or so making it very close. Paint job looks great - did you use an airless paint rig for that house pain?
