Default Hood Design?

Alright everyone, here's the deal. I just scored a flawless hood for a good price (FREE!!!) and I've decided I would like to make a functional scoop or cowl with it. Let's get the majority vote on what the best looking aftermarkets are for our trucks.

And BTW, if anyone has a good source for a fiberglass cowl/scoop that I could use to mold into this hood, that'll be all-star as well

Here's some picture examples of what each selection means, if someone has a good link to something I haven't thought of yet, pm me and I'll add it to the poll. Keep in mind, some of the pictures are obviously not 2nd gen rams, but this is for concept only.

I voted Cowl 1. I think it looks the best but I'm not crazy about the shape of the cowl. I've seen others I think look better with a bigger cowl.

My next choice would be the one under the this too link. I think it looks pretty good too.

That was a tough choice. Some pretty sweet lookn' hoods on there. I voted for cowl 2 but I think cowl 1 is nice also.

I think you should do the shaker hood, that's the only kind i'd even consider.

If that shaker's really functional and sits on the air cleaner, I'd go with that. It looks nasty. Reminds me of a silver trans am my father used to have.

If I created my own custom "shaker" hood, I'd be doing just that (creating an airhat and basically cutting the hood to fit around it. However, I would be making the scoop larger as I think the original shaker looks kinda small.
