I’ll throw my own opinion out since my wife doesn’t check what I say on this forum and this better not get back to her! Anyway, I think the two-tone would look better because it would take your eye away from the new hood line which may cause it to look a little bulky since all the fender lines and hood lines have moved upward. Painting the top black would also help with making the fenders not look so tall……you know Nathan what if you pan-caked the hood a couple of degrees and then lay the windshield back the same degree?

The windshield is getting layed back. As for pancakeing the hood... it would be slick, but not my call! I too would like to see it in the two-tone, for all the same reasons!

Beat me to it. I'm not a big fan of the two-tone in general, but it does solve the problem of hiding the unnatural line the hood mod creates... especially at the cowl. How about either...

welding up the cowl into a giant 1-piece front end with the hood tiliting as you've now got planned? This would eliminate the hood-to-fender seam back at the cowl.

Or... what about integrating the cowl into the hood itself? That's give you a single hood line from glass, to the top front edge, back to the glass. It'd take a little work on getting the hood tilt to pitch out enough to clear the glass, but you'd just have to ply your mad skillz to it.
