I spent 20 minutes in photoshop correcting things. Now it looks "ok". I say just ok because I dont think this design works on a 4th gen at all, but thats just my subjective opinion I am sure many will disagree with.

Couldn't have said it better.

I don't like the look of this hood on 4th gen fbodys. The angles/lines just don't flow at all. Also, if I'm spending $550 on a hood I don't want to have to cut and sand to make it perty. It should arrive at my door ready for paint with little prep.

I know your trying to make these cars more modern and I do appreciate that 6le, but trying to make 5th gen inspired hoods and roofs is kinda like fitting a square peg in a round hole. These cars are way to rounded off to have 5th gen inspired parts. IMO a hood modeled after the c5 mcm heat extractor hood or Caravaggio blower hood would fit the roundness of the 4th gens much better. Again I'm not trying to knock you and I appreciate that your basically the only company still trying to come up with new products for the 4th gens but you gotta follow the roundness of the car.

6LE did not design the hood or produce it, they just sell it.

I like the idea, I think the vents are a lilttle to big, if there was a w to contact the comapnyay that makes them and see if there is a way to make like two or three rows of rounded outside edged rectangular vents.

They won't make any changes. Would take 6 months or more anyways since they have stuff made in China...

This hood belongs on the 93-97 cars, fits the front end a lot better.

If you search on ebay, they already exist for 3rd gens and 4th gens at a good total price (Product + Actual Shipping). I would throw a link up but the seller on ebay doesn't sponsor this forum.
