Lincolns are supposed to be intimidating, yet sedate. They are performance cars, but they don't scream:
"HEY F*CKER! LOOK AT ME! I'M A PERFORMANCE CAR YOU DOLT!"
Like my Hood! LMAO!
Any of the hideous scooped (ricer garbage) or otherwise obnoxious hoods don't seem to fit the 'theme' of a Mark VIII, if you will.
I would think a mild cowl hood, with a gentle curved rise that lines up with bulge where the grill is on the Gen IIs would be most appropriate.
I would also say that 3" should be the OUTSIDE MAX rise on the hood.
Just my humble opinion from your local Mustang dork / Lincoln owner.

I think this is a very clean and sexy hood for the Gen 2 Marks.
Just picture this on that nice round Gen 2 hood. It's very sedate but will get the needed attention desired. I really am diggin' the reversed inverted scoop deal.
