Challanger Hood feature on a Camaro?

What do you think of this creation.. I really like the lines of the 70 Challanger hood, so I added it on to my car... it's not 100% perfect.. But I think it looks pretty good..

Looks pretty cool. I also love the early 70's E body Mopars.

I think it would look better though if the scoops were more towards the middle of the hood.

originally they where closer to the middle, but I widened it to match the lines coming off the front clip, where the lines are on the existing hood.. I'll play with it some more later..

Nice, agree with the other guys that said put them closer to the middle. 84 Z if u can find a way for those to be flush with the bend of the fender well, it would totally rock, was thinking of that for my car but ...i do think about my car too much...

They will be flush..and will match the fender...BUT...they can't be seamless.....because they are made from aluminum....so..I can't weld them in.... ......there is only 1 guy that has done it around here to his Camaro..and that gave me the idea...they looked REALLY aggressive..I can't wait to install'em.....

Actually, I like the first version more. Seems to give it a wider, more aggressive look. And it does it without being too obnoxious.
