looks good for a "custom" hood, and I can honestly say I couldn't do a better job,
although I would've opted to cut out the entire back of the buldges and use a wire mesh....instead of cutting multiple circles...but looks good as is

Hmm.. I'm not sure if I like it or not. It sure is different, and not in a bad way. Any pics of it from straight on in yellow?

wow... that looks nice and it fits the body lines.... great job
the only thing i would have done diffrently would be to cut out the whole back rectangle instead of the circles.... but it still looks nice

looks awesome, but i agree that you should've cut out the backs of the scoops completely and put a mesh grill, but it still looking fooking awesome, especially since you made it yourself.

not to be a jerk or ne thing, but what is with people spraying their car and not coving up the wheel wells...HELLO. they are supposed to be black and it could just let more dirt into the paint.

I dont care to much for the flames, but I totally dig the hood! Good job! You may want to add screens to the circle openings in the scoops for added appearance, but it turned out bada$$ none the less!

As with any color change, you should pull off the plastic in the wheel wells, pull up the carpet, paint the engine bay....it just looks cruddy when people go cheap on color changes.
The hood looks good in my opinion. The flames are too skinny and could of used more pizazz (is that even a word?). But, I'm sure the car will look stunning when it's finished.
:hail: Score points for being original!!!
I have NEVER seen a hood like that, big points. I like the idea, I like the flames!!!
My gut tells me that those pics do not do your car justice.... Any other pics (perhaps outside)???
Sweet custom job!!! :hail:

I think you should get rid of those holes or something cause there the only think I dont like about the hood. I would go with like some sory of horizontal grille in them after cutting it out. Look at my lil pic i attached and it will tell you what I'm think that u should do. But anyways *** job!

Just my 2 cents, but I think that took some serious talent and you should be impressed with your work. I am.
