4.5" Is just going to look plain ol' stupid. Unless your packing some serious big block heat under the hood that is way over kill. Get the car running right before you deal with that. I drove my 85 T/A for a year with the stock hood and had a tiny flex in the hood where i gutted some of the hood to clear a cheap summit air cleaner and only the stud touched and poked a little into the hood, but it still closed and saved me a butt load of money in the long run.
