Nice! Classy, discrete yet aggressive. Also lets everyone know you mean business!

I could be wrong but it looks like you are down in Cranston ish area?

EDIT think im wrong cuz theres no houses in the valley yet are there?

Both work well. For a cowl to be fully effective the cowl needs to be right near the base of the windshield. Take a look at a factory chevelle hood. This scoup worked effectively on a 454 build chev 1/2 ton running mid 12's in the 1/4. Huge difference compared to under hood temps for me, the camden builds enough heat on it's own.

Are those functional throttle plates in the scoop? Thats f**** sweet! I could imaging someone revving up to you, seeing those flip open, then they know they're in trouble

Yep, functional. Helps keep the birds out on the highway unless I'm on the throttle.
