It is mine too, and it would be hard for me to change that when i get the car painted in the spring (tentatively)

as for the hood, i used to have a carbed small block with a big intake so it was at least useful then. I think id like to go to a glass style stock hood for more of the "sleeper" look since the car looks stock externally except for that

Yea, there' s definitely something about red. If you decide to change it....maybe Torch Red??

The hood may not be functional now, but still looks really good. The stock hood would be more of a sleeper look though. I' m always having people ask me if my hood is functional, so I can see your point there.

the only color i would change it to would be sunset orange metallic... we will see though.

I agree the hood looks good, but it seems around here people seem to try to pass their cars off as slower than they really are. lol
