I think the hood looks great. Some mesh screens in the center openings would go good - sort of like what the Motor City Mold hood had on it. If that hood was produced, I would certainly consider one.

Not bad. Not entirely my taste but you did a pretty good job on it. Like someone else said, it looks out of place on an otherwise plain jane, stock car. Ill be interested in seeing what you do to mod up the rest. Not to get off topic, but it looks like you could really use some 1 inch spacers on those rear wheels too. Unless you like the sunken in look.
But again, nice job. Definitely an improvement over your last one.

the center scoops are molded from the c5 side vents so any of those inserts would work. i havent screened anything yet because its just a prototype. i will eventually make a mold and make a one piece hood. too many layers now so it too heavy

I have to admit it looks a ton better with paint on it, would love to see it without the side vents as most have said here, looks like you have found a real winner there.

sounds like an overwhelming consensus get rid of the side vents (especially since they are non functional and a big pain anyways 
) and you have a winner! how much for a torch red one?

I'm sorry but I'm not a vendor. I'm not selling anything I'm just modding my own car. I am considering it for the future but not right now. I'm not set up for production everything I make is hand laid. Plus it doesn't make sense to only have one product to sell. When I finish all the panels for the car I will go down that road. But for ****** and giggles I think I will make a hood with no vents. Everyone has me curious how it would look.

Does anyone have any cool ideas for the front bumper? Its the one thing that I am struggling with. I can make just about anything and I'm open to suggestions

I am not a fan of the 6 outlets on the side 9too much) but the center area is beautiful! Also, with that hood your going to have to mod the rest of the body (looks out of place with the rest of the car). may after additional body mods it would look together! It is a pretty piece though.

Wow fantastic work !
I agree with others though.
The center vents only would be just enough.
The side vents just look a little over the top.
