Default New Trans Am hood



What do you think? I thought it would be cool to have a ram air style cowl hood with no nostrils and the cowl slightly raised.

Personally, i like the idea of having the nostrils, but w/ a slight cowl...@ first i liked the VFN hood, but now that 4" seems a little extreme. If it was 2.5-3" i think it would follow the line up the hood extremly well, but thats not a bad lookin hood. Maybe open up those nostrils a little bit, like the SLP HO or Raptor hood, and it'd look even better imo.

did you fill the seams around the lp cover? cool.

anywho, i like the hood, but the height in the rear clashes with the smooth look your going for. If it was functional, I could see it, but id like to see what it looks like with just slightly less rake. perhaps something between a standard wussix hood and that one.

I noticed that too. I am thinking this is a Photoshop job??

I don't really like it, but I would like to see some different design ideas from people who can photochop that well.

I like it, it could use a lil more work up by the bumper/hood area to make it blend in, but other than that its pretty tight

Very unique....not something I'd want though. You should have removed the mailbox that's growing out of the car's roof while you were reworking the photo.
