Thats not to say i dont still love it; just throwin out suggestions
Yep I agree after building this one. I was trying for the jap hood look. Got close but miss just a bit with the width of the invert.

Going to tear the hood down again. After having it on for some time now I just don't think the opening is wide enough so I'm tearing it apart. I'm going to widen the opening more like the Jap hood. Then I'm going to cut the center section out and try to put lexan so you can see through the invert and see the TPI. So we'll see how it goes.

The one good thing about the hood is the car runs very cold. The temp hasn't gone over 150 since the build.

Wow, thats actually too cold. You should run a warmer thermostat. Sounds like youve got your work cut out for you. I hope it comes out how you want it, and this time we can see it with some paint!

Is anyone trying to mass produce this design?
The last I heard, there was supposed to be something done by Spring, but nothing yet :-(
