pretty cool...

it would've been slick to lower the turbos a touch and have a firehawk-like nostril which would've lined up nice with the wheels

Yeah, and then the hood would not need notching.

That looks awesome and great idea i like the look of how they stick out. Aren't you going to need more room for the heat of the turbo's?

what are those tools that are holding the hood down? I have a bunch of them and always wondered what they're called.

I agree. More so if you would have cut out the lower section of the nostril on the hood so that the entire nostril section is open. Though the way it ended up is not too bad either.

How hot do the turbos get? I've always wondered about that when I see them built into the hood

good god, please tell me you're going to have stacks coming out of the hood (like where the circle is on either side)....

that would be pretty sweet at night
