Default Modifying the hood

I've been thinking of adding a Stillen SC but the I'm having a hard time liking the available hood replacements. They all remind me of the batmobile.

How much do you think it would cost to have the original hood modified to the way I want it to look? Are body shops typically able to do this without screwing it up?

First off, I wouldn't get a stillen SC if I were you. Do a search there's been some pretty bad experiences with them. Get a Vortech and keep your stock hood.

I suppose I should hear it in person but from what I've heard on videos it's just too loud.

If you listen to Gator's video's he had blower issues and they all don't sound like that. In fact his was the only one that I've heard that sounded like that. Just do you research on the Stillen blower and Stillen as a company
