it looks like something i have been drawing up in my head, but EVIL! I have been thinking about buying a new hood, that would allow fresh air into the engine bay, but i dont want a big Racing scoop on the hood, and this looks like something that i might want to get!

will it be pin on only? or will it be able to be used with hinges?

Way too aftermarket looking for me, but if you are into radical, this is for you. Definately looks cool and is an attention grabber

It will come in both versions. the bolt on will NOT need hood pins. It will have a metal striker plate glassed in or riveted on.

Hmmm . . The front is pretty interesting looking. The back of the bulge needs a little something though. Looks a bit much for a street car.

But you like this??? It has pro stock/dedicated race car written all over it. Appearance wise it reminds me of those god-awful (but functional) things Mopar used (you know, the things that looked like two coal shovels welded together and then turned upside down and bolted to the hood).

Like others have said on a race car - sure (function first appearance second). for the street - ugly.
