Default Considering cutting my stock hood for a truly custom look

I am considering doing the needed body work and then cutting some air slots and filling them with perforated aluminum.

Here's where I got my idea from

my advice, don't do it. you open the door to all manner of paint problems. my hood has been repainted i think six times.


there are several bubbles in the paint as well as cracks
