If you do a search you'll see that Unlimited Products has a very bad reputation for the cowl induction hoods for our truck. A friend bought one and the multi month ordeal cost 4 times the original cost to get it right, and he is not the only one with trouble. Do a search on them before you spend your money.

Yes, yes I do have a cowl hood. I am in the process of making another for my red truck, and considered making a carbon fiber one for pops' truck, but my broke tail cant justify the expense.
I do like the cowl look though. Even though it is a bowtie thing, it still brings soome cool factor.
I can tell you this, the trucks are difficult to see around anyway, and a large cowl makes the hoodline real high. This impairs vision quite a bit.

"Impaired Vision", I know what you mean:



A cowl induction hood does look sweet though, a shame the quality of this one is so bad. This is what it looked like on a friends truck when finally done:
