Default Which hood looks better

Thinking about changing the hood on my camaro to a stock hood with shotgun bill's scoop. I would like some opinions of what you think would look better.

This is my current hood.


Just finished cutting the hole with the sawzall for a test fit. The hole in the center will have about a quarter inch of flat stock welded in to clean it up before I paint it.

I voted cowl.
I think a motor only looks good sticking through the hood on a Drag car.

Cowl

In my opinion the only time a big ass scoop looks cool is if you have one hell of a motor in there and need that extra air and cant fit anything under a decent hood....

if there is a scoop on there it had better be a working functional mechanical methanol injection.. if not its just rediculous....

dont put anything not non-functional in your car..
