You're right, that does look deeper. I've never seen it before, but it doesn't look too bad. I'll subscribe to this one because I'm curious about it too.
i'm sure that is the stock hood but the angle makes it look different. i do see what you're saying though. in 1999 i was looking at 99 cobra hoods and i could have sworn from pictures that one was a reverse cowl (as it really is) and a little bump-cowl (somehow i thought it went UP instead of DOWN)
I think its the standard hood also. I was out at my buddies shop today and he has a white 01 out there he's working on and I think its just the color white that makes the lines look sharper and deeper.
