The Mach 1 hood, or the Cowl?

I think the Cowl looks like the powerdome hoods they put on Saleen mustangs, and that's pretty cool...

The Mach 1 hood looks over embellished IMO, it doesn't really match the car. If it was cleaner, it would look better on a T-Bird... I think it would be more at home on a focus, if you get my drift

I would like a cowl hood like the later 90's cobra's have *not 99+*

Part of the reason for the mach 1 hood would be to have a better ram air, but the cowl would add much neaded air

I think they both look good. But I like the mach 1 best of all.

The Cowl gives the impression of a much upgraded powerplant, making people fear you at first sight, or gain interest and want to try you out.

The Mach 1 hood allows more air under the hood, which can be a good thing if you need it.

It depends on what you'll be needing. if you need the extra air under the hood, take the Mach 1. If not, then i suggest the Cowl.

I hope i got the names right in here!
