Found one. something like this only it would still have partial hatch and look almost complete outback. I dont have the dough for coil overs so it would be coil and shock. I am pretty sure i am guna try this next fall/winter. Time to start finding parts

i dont really like the way that cherokee looks...but its flex is insane.

i say hood scoop instead of reverse cowl hood... the hood will look kind of weird backwards...but the hood scoop is ment to look the way it does...if that makes any sense.

you said reverse cowl...and for some reason my brain at 3 am thought you were going to make a cowl but put it on backwards...so the opening would be towards the front...haha. yea cowls look so much better
