If i can make it functional without costing an arm and a leg it will be. It will all depend on the extra material and mold price.

After thinking about it. I may try to also make the ss bumper (mail slot) opening a true ram air. I think it may be easier and have better air flow having a straight shot from the top of the bumper into the air filter. I can only know for sure once i get my hands on one.

Two scoops looks hideous, sorry. That hood would rock on the V6 Camaro though.

That is what I was thinking. If the nose scoop was gone and it was functional then hell yea!

That's pretty amazing for Paint.

Yeah, looks much better without the slot on the front.

Now, if you just tapper it in, just a tad towards the front, essentially following the lines of the hood, you're in the money!
