+1 for originality,-1 for the scoop imo, if you left it as a cowl hood, I would have robbed you of it

the front looks out of place because the car is so wide and the scoop is narrow. if you made the front wider with a shorter but wider opening then it would probably go better with the car. also just a thought but some sort of heat extractor in the rear would help both cosmetics and performance. craftsmanship is excellent though.

Dont take the negativity to heart, you did a thousand times better job in making an original part than 98% of us could. Looks good w/o the scoop. but to each his own! Congrats!
