I think it would be a nice hood if it didn't have that scoop in the middle.

Not really my style, but it looks good. Are you going to paint it or keep it black?

Cool to see one of those hoods actually on a car. It'd be neat to see the car painted blue with white Viper style stripes on it.

That hood doesn't look bad from the sides but from the front it looks terrible.

It doesn't fit right, and it reminds me of an eclipse or a celica mix. It just doesn't look like it's at home on that kind of car.

It looks like it doesn't fit too well. I think it would look much better fitted and painted though.

Didn't the guy with the SOM SS have one of those? The guy that put on a body kit molded it and got mad when people didn't like his car?

Anyway, I'm not really a fan. I'm not sure what it is but it just doesn't look right. My cousin has a z that he put a similar hood on. Actually it's a carbon SS hood with the louvers farther back and to the sides.

It's better looking than the Mecham hood I just posted about in my new topic in this section...

I LIKE IT!!!! I would recommend 2 things, paint the hood except for the
louvers and in front if the scoop and get rid of the chrome wheels, it clashes hard with the style your going after. Or go over the wheels with chrome paint in black to give it a black chrome look which would help out a ton. Just my $.02.

Not my style either, but I hate it when everyone's car looks the same too.
I would work on the fit at the front corners, it definitely noticable even in the long shots.
