gonna take a lot of body work to get it looking anywhere near decent. it would need to be attached/molded/blended to try and get it to look factory.

If your gonna put it on a metal hood it won't last to long without cracking out. Metal and fiber glass expand and contract differantly and it will crack out

I'm not sure what I'm even looking at in that picture, but I can tell you there's nothing I despise more than a jerry-rigged ram air contraption on ANY vehicle.
