wow, for the price that hood is extremely weak. sorry, but it's just too blank. Both the SD 4-vent hood, and the F1 twin scoop hood are less than that and far more attractive

Kinda looks out of place on a GP. The single inlet on the hood doesn't match the double inlet of the grills.

Maybe there are more agressive hoods, but i think this looks elegant.

ditto on the elegant, but i think i have to go with thunderbat and co. on this one mainly because of the price. I just saw sothing different and wantedt to know if anybody had it or addition pics.
I am always looking for somthing different but not this one i guess.

It doesn't look bad, but it's kinda plain.

That's $769 too much! You could fly me to Wisconsin for half the price, and I could match that hood by sitting on the front of the hood. Usually you go for looks or in some cases (other cars) performance. This hood has nothing. By the way, Not to make this more like an @$$ (I am totally not trying to) but you have posted alot about modding, have you bought any or installed any of those mods from those postings?

The hood in the first post I think was the one that was on the concept car of 97-03 models. I don't care for it.

...but thats me. It does break up that huge blank area but it is a little pricey...I've only spent a little over that amount to buy/ship/paint mine.
