Default opinions welcome

I think I may have posted this in the wrong section so I am posting it here again. Opinions wanted on this c4 hood nose scoop that I installed on my spare hood. I would sell it for the right offer also. It looks better to me in person.. camera angle seems to make the hood appear longer to me.. What do you guys think. thanks, gary

There is another car with a hood very similar to this one and it looks fantastic i can't remember his name but i think his user is "COPO" he used a Camaro SS hood and transplanted that on

Curious to see how it matches up with the front bumper as well, are you going to groove that out?

Looks good to me, wouldn't do it to my car, but if I saw it on someones vette I wouldn't think negatively of it.

Green one looks good id ditch the emblem though
Leaving the hole open instead of the faux cover is a +
Perhaps removing the rear hood seal could help scrub off some underhood heat also maybe not

Default back side

Faux is removable and on the back side is the factory bracket that was very hard to get, chevrolet does not make it any more. I have made a template for it so I can fabricate more if I do another one.
