I'm getting ready to do some rust and paint repair on my car.  While I'm at it, should I put my Turbocoupe hood on or leave the flat hood alone?  I picked up the Turbocoupe hood a few years ago, but now that I look at it, I like the clean look of the flat hood as well.  Your thoughts?

I can go either way. Seems like everybody is putting them on their birds and cougars. Including me.
Myself, I'm planning on painting both hoods for my car just in case I get sick of the TC hood on my cougar.

I suppose if you want to be different then the rest of us, keep the solid hood.
