Default Custom Hood on my 99 Formula

Just wondering what what you think of my Custom Hood on my 99 Formula. Took a while to do it but was well worth it. The Ram Air part is Fiberglass and the Hood is Original. Just bought a 00' LS1 and plan to do the same thing. All together cost me about $250.

I will see if I have some left over. I ended up selling the car with the Hood on. It was a local buyer and I see it almost everyday so might be able to get some more pictures of it.

Yes the underside is the same. And it may look gross to some but didn't want to spend $500 on a Fiberglass WS6 Hood that was non-functional anyways.

The front nostrils are a lil to big for me, but other then that. It came out good, something unique & different.

That thing is killer with some tweaking it will be a crowd pleaser for sure.
