I am not a fan of the Easy Up Hood . Yes, it is more practical and probably gives better protection against the elements. But I have always loved the look of the Old Style Hood in mohair and I think it looks better up (giving the car a more traditional rakish profile) and better down as the lines of the car are kept clean with no hood bunched up on the rear frame. The car also looks better when driving half tonneau with the Old Style Hood. I may regret my decision when I have no fingernails left
I don't think you'll regret the decision at all.
I had a few weeks with a 4/4 with the old style hood. It wasn't that much longer to put up and looked FAR better when the hood was down.
If I could re-order mine, I'd be really 50/50 on which hood.
