that rainbow license plate is killin' me lol
hood looks cool, i wonder what it would look like if they took the slope at the front and made it more gradual towards the back, and not as 'sharply' up from the 'nostrils' and flat-lined back. give it more of a stream-lined look.

Honestly, that hood looks aweful. My buddy had the same one and the car just looked like one of those big head dogs with it. Nothing beats the stocker.

I love it.. it gets many looks and double takes. esp since there are only 2 hoods like this here in Hawaii

That's what this hobby is all about, doing what you want. Don't change what you're planning because someone else doesn't like it. I may not like that hood, but as long as you do then...

It depends on what kind of "looks" and "double takes" you're getting

I would like it much better if it was a clean transition from the front. It seems to be too much of a jump from how low it is in the front to where it goes to in the rear. If they could get that better designed I might buy one.

I never understood why people do this on a street car, especially one that doesn't run 9's or faster. Honestly, that hood belongs on a 7 second car to clear a hi-rise intake. I don't feel a heads and cam car justifies that hood, but I don't own the car, you do. You like it, and that's what matters. I am just an observer.
