I love it! That is the hood I want, I Aldo agree if it was wider it would look badass, more then it does now

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).
i wanted it on the taller side so it catches your eye, my car has a body kit on it and a bigger spoiler and will soon have new fenders and i was also thinking about custom building a wide body kit for it. if i went with a small scoop i think it would look out of place compared to what all is done to the rest of the car. im not a fan of buying everything and using it cause then everybody has it or can easily get it. the spoiler on my car alone yes i bought but then i had to make the risers 1" taller to clear the hump on the trunk lid (most people would not have went through that trouble) my body kit yes people can buy but hardly anybody buys it they always get the other kits. im just out to be unique and hear people say "wow never seen anything like that, thats 1 of a kind" not everybody will like everything i do to it and i respect that also and i am glad you all are being honest and honest in a kind way instead of bashing it and me too.

thanks, with it being wider im not sure if it would be better or look to stretched out. this scoop is as wide as the spyder 3 hood (main scoop) it just dont have the little triangle looking things is all.

I completely understand trying to get the "WOW" factory. That is part of customizing.
I still think it would flow better if it was a little wider. But that is my taste.

Like someone said earlier in this thread, keep the pics flowin'!!!!

I think your ride will be more interesting once it's all tuned and you can get some quarter mile slips!!
