Yeah, he made it himself. He dosnt run that hood anymore, but I remember him saying he wanted to make another one. Here's some pics I have (all of which happen to be action shots):









Dont worry mods, those are all linked.

what kind of front bumper is that in the last pic? aside from the fact that it looks like the spoiler is broken off, that looks pretty sweet.

No offense but that last pic looks a bit too Fast and the Furious to me... But I'm sure that car can beat my *** so ------> $0.02

hey at least he is having fun with his car, but did you notice the Fast and Furious wing on that lat pic? Looks funny on a Maro.

But like stated above, Im sure his car could run circles around my slow asz 2.8.

Yeah the hood was functional but it wasn't hooked up to any sort of induction or anything, it was for heat extraction. The front bumper in that last pic is one that Chris made himself, I believe it was a Skyline R34 style front bumper made for an Accord molded into the stock front bumper. The lights were also from an Accord. This was all back in 2002/2003 by the way, the car no longer exists, the frame seperated by the steering box and the chassis was junked.
