Are those molded in???


Looks damn good. I like the reverse scoops a lot.

[Bouchie11982]

not bad. almost like the SD hood for our 99+'s

[tgussie666]

Niiiiiice.......:)

[Big Joe]

not to bad. looks like you did a nice job molding them.

[bballr4567]

Do you have any special plans for the paint?

[Silver 4 door]

looks very good

I really like it.

[Trunks]

Not sure yet about the paint. Just thinking about painting it the color of the car. I have graphics planned for next year since the weather is gonna be gettin too bad to paint soon. Just gonna paint the hood for now. If you guys have any ideas for the paint let me know and I will see how things go. I am always looking for more ideas for the car

Ya it is a single scoop molded in and I have a cut out in the hood for max air flow. I just need to figure out how to make it ram air. I will try to get some pics tomorrow of the cutout.

[bballr4567]

I was thinking of maybe like putting a black graphic in the reverse scoop. Then again ghost flames are always hot on red cars.

Wow thats looks really good. I really dont think the hoods that stick out that high looks good at all but yours is just awesome. Nice work and props for doin it yourself :thumbup:

Nice hood, get it painted, hope those tail lights are working out good for ya.

[Trunks]

The tails are great. I gotta get some time to fix some stuff on the hood and then paint it.

I really like it but I wished the scoops were longer

[Matt M]

Looks great! That's the same set of scoops that I put on my ga over the winter this past year.;)

[Trunks]

Ya Matt it is the same scoop

[ManktheTank19]

I just realized that the mesh fits snug in there. What did you do to keep the mesh from falling out :???:

[bp's97GAGT]

Looks awesome....I've been wanting to do this hood ever since I saw matt's thread but I guess I need to find something different now. Good job

It is molded in on the scoop that I bought, so I just taped it off when I primed it.

do you have any sort of trap or catch for all the water that just rolls in (from the back vents especially) and if you dont have em open,, i know the one who has it in silver (matt) has em open.. so either one of you,, what do you do? (Im making my own hood now.. about %90 done, but still contemplating cutting open the bottom....)

[Trunks]

No i dont. I just dont drive it when I know it is gonna rain. That and a little water isn't gonna hurt.

[sammybammy]

hood looks awesome man. i've just cut the back out and never thought or saw that before! great work

[SilverCoupe]

well.. i live in the city, and i dont have an indoor parking spot. so my car is outside 24\7, rain\shine\snow.... thats why im probably not gonna open it. (btw.. finished project will be up here soon)

[ManktheTank19]

I have almost the same hood which has been through snow, rain, and sun - no problem at all :)

:knocking on wood:

[Trunks]

Thanks for the compliments.

I have a garage that I keep it in, so rain, snow, etc doesn't get to it

[_SHLEE_]

I WANT THAT!!!!!

Just got new pics up of the finished product in a new thread
