can anyone see through there hood?

has anyone made a part of there camaro hood see through??
u know were they have the two indent marks on most camaro hoods?
say u cut it out (like in pic below) and covered it with some good strong see through plastic or plexi or some sort, so u can see in your engine bay?
i did a photo chop below with a pre 85 z28 camaro add photo and my engine bay so u get the idea. has anyone done something like this to there thirdgen? any pics out there? what do u guy think of this idea?

Just another thing to have to clean.

Cool idea, How would you attach it? You would have to cut back some of the hood supports in that area I imagine. I think it would look pretty nifty if the installation was clean enough.

Nice idea and all, but I'm not sure how good its really going to look. It may work with a nice engine bay.

I prefer the above pick by gecZ28, this looks like the original IROC series race cars.
