Don't feels bad, I'm fighting a lot of the same issues you are, waaaaaaaaayyyy too little room under the hood but with mine someone already cut a hole in my bonnet! Whenever I can get some $$ together I wanna get a Cobra type R SVO with a 3 in rise hood for mine! The black 95 SN-95 I had came with one of those hoods and I just fell in love with em! I swore the next pony I got that I'd get another good like that wether it needed one or not!!
