My favorite custom, Cowl Induction hood for our cars

I've seen many over-the-top custom hoods bolted on our wagons and sedans. I've seen fiberglass ones that look good in pics or from a distance, but that are wavy and fit and look terrible up close, and also hoods with huge hood scoops or giant/TALL cowls that actually really cheapen the looks of these classy old cars. I'm a big believer in tasteful mods...no Pep-Boys or JC Whitney mods... I have to say I really REALLY like the look of these new 2-inch steel cowl-induction hoods from KeyParts, # 0829-035. Fit looks great, steel so they bolt up like a factory hood, and they look very stock-ish, especially on an Impala SS. I seriously would like one for my wagon, but I actually really like my '96-only Collector's Edition stand-up hood ornament, and would miss it...and could not bear to drill into a $500 hood to mount it...besides...think that might look goofy on a cowl hood (but didn't Oldsmobile have a cowl hood on a Cutlass with a stand-up ornament at one time...442?....hmmmm...). Anyway, I really DO like this hood a lot!

Yup. I'll be buying one of these next year for sure.
