Default Sunoco Hood

Hi Guys.
We are currently working on the suncoo style hood. We are to the point where we are working on the scoop portion of the hood. My question is, which does everyone prefer, the scoop with the center body line or without the center body line? I am attaching two photos - one that we photoshopped to eliminate the scoop.
Let us know
Thanks!!
Jeanie

id say a little bit more subtle line. in that first pic the line comes out of nowhere. can you keep it lookin like the crease from the front bumper? so like somewhere inbetween the 2 photos? but if not, id say no line.

Definitely has to have the lines with it and you definitely have to keep it that height…make it look exactly like the first picture and I’m sure you’ll sell a truck load…

I like the line, but no big deal if you guys save time/money not putting it on.


You have any plans on making the fenders for LT1's and LS1's?
