I think the front is OK, maybe just a tad high.

The back is where I am having the looks issue. maybe if it sloped back into the cowl hieght more It would be a better looking street design?

I know this type of thing is disheartening. I am going into porduction on some turbo headers very soon and It makes me nuts when I get bad feedback.
LOL

especially when I see it as something small and I think. Do these guys know how much freakin work this was to get into production.LOL

As I said Its a great race hood "AS IS"

I think there will be a nice market for this hood "AS IS"

That being said I think there would be a bigger market for a slightly toned down version with a slanted back portion to get back into the cowl hieght.

This is all simply for asthetics on a street type car that not over the top.


Personally I run stock 350 type fiberglass hood on my race car with the turbo and it always blows people away when I click off a 9 second pass with it!

So I am kind of a understated type guy.

Anyone else have any input on these Ideas.

Its would be nice to know if others thought the same thing or if they thought the hood was better AS IS designed

The scoops are a tad low. (Ok, that was just for everyone who wants a small bodyline type hood scoop-which is anything under about 5"). I think the hood is awesome, and actuly wouldn't mind it being a bit taller in back.
