No line, or worst case, a very faint line that folks can sand off.

I like the line, but from a business standpoint I would make it without the line.

IMHO I believe people who like the line would buy the hood without the line, but people who don't like the line would not buy the hood.

Good idea on making that hood, it is sick!

I think I like the line, but, as others have mentioned, make it a little less defined.

I do like both versions, but I think it will look best if it has a little curve/line (Look at a stock Z28 hood ). If it didn't flow with the stock curve in the middle it won't have as good of an effect imo.

Both look good, but no-line is much better, especially if someone wants a custom paint job or anything
