Hoods on stock lx convertibles and hoods on coupes aren't really comparable.Would never go back to a stock hood but I like the look of the cowl on my coupe. I chose the HO Fibertrends due to the rounded edges running up the hood which to me were more subtle than the hard edges most of the other brands have. Basically doesn't draw your eye straight to the hood but you know its there. I also like the additional room for the 1" spacer between the upper and lower intakes as I am not sure even with cutting the structural on the stock hood if it would have fit and then the hood is flimsy.
Anyhow, fit my needs and I do like cowl hoods so just a preference.
Coupes are easy to modify visually since they can look like any type of car, road course, drag, cruiser etc. It may be why they are the most beloved sytle of foxbody.
But a 2 inch hood looks way out of place on a stock lx vert, even worse if the luggage rack is still on the car.
I have nothing against lx verts, i just don't think you can slap race car style parts on them randomly and expect it to look right.
