It would be cool if the original split lines of the hood were filled in.

they will be, the scoop is just sitting on it right now its not mounted or anything. also i will probly bring the raised body line thats at the front of the scoop down to the front tip of the hood. this will be made functional too

I agree with ZJerry, it seems a bit tall, perhaps too tall. I almost think it needs to be wider to off set how tall it looks.

But, it will be original. The only hoods I've seen are the MDP/PFYC RAM Air Hood and the Ram Air hood Pacer has. I don't even think I've seen a raised cowl hood.

I guarantee this, the road you're going, it will be original. I say that mainly because I don't think too many people spend the time/money to mold a hood scoop on the hood (it's mostly buy something already done).

It's Big! If painted the same color as the body it might blend in better split lines are going to help it too.

People are going to wonder what you got under that hood!!!

Hmmm idk man.... I agree with everyone else on the height of that scoop. Something you'd see on an older muscle car
I think 2" tall would look much better and a like maniac said, a little bit wider then you've got yourself a nice lookin hood!
