2 pics photoshopped onto the hood (probably of the same side of plenum,one side reversed)

It kind of looks like they don't fit on that hood properly but i guess if it was photoshoped that would explain it not a very good sales technique if you ask me!!

On the other hand if they were installed properly and fit well they would look amazing!!

they dont look curved with the hood though, must be plexi cut and painted. would be cooler if shaped better. some for the GTA vents would be cool......................... well now that i think of it all you would see is the plastic radiator cover and some wheel wells.

youd have to have a steady hand to get the cuts on the hood just right, to make it look good. otherwise you would really notice if one hole is a bit bigger than the other . other than that it looks cool , probably wouuld look best on a black car
