Default stillen hood alternatives?

hey guys,

i really like the torque curve of the stillen supercharger compared to the vortech supercharger but i hate the stillen hoods ):
especially because i live in europe and it would be extremely expensive to ship one here.
are there any alternatives? third party hoods that will clear the stillen supercharger or maybe the '07 hood will clear it on my '03?

thnx,

reinier

Stillen has a do-it-yourself fiberglass or carbon fiber cowl that you can use with your factory hood, or you can simply cut/trim a hole in your factory hood and let the SC stick out. I have seen this done on american cars and would have done it myself if I had kept the Stillen SC.

I have the cf cowl on the factory hood, nothing but compliments so far, getting ready to upgrade to a painted cf vented hood with the same cowl. Should look really good and help vent a lot of that heat created by the s/c.
