Should I add some stripes on top or some "real flames" on the 4" sides?

Looks like cabin fever got the best of you......

:ack:

You've got more guts than I do. :eek:

:lol: I have several projects going right now besides the Corvette. I'm adding a blower, long tube headers, 3" exhaust, cowl hood, roll pan, ignition, and gauges to my 454SS, and installing a new seat, tires, and jet hot headers to my CBX. :lol:

your kidding right !

Right back at you slick.

Stones of steel man...

(and me likey :D )

Doesn't take guts to make his car what he wants. It's his he wants a cowl and he is doing it. There were almost 300k of these cars made it's a collectors item!!

Dern I hate the folks that keep Mid-America and Ecklers in business buying the goofy little crap they sell. :willy:

Got the diamond blade in the grinder right now. :D

Wow, I believe that's the largest cowl I've seen on a C5! :eek:
I would go with the flames, of course. :D :yesnod:
Good luck and can't wait to see the finished product! :cheers:

Gotta love those "real" flames. :thumbs:

Is this one higher than any of the aftermarket hoods?? Just curious how it would affect visibilty. Good luck with the project and be sure to post pics asap. :cheers:

It's your car do what makes you happy. To many cars on here look the same takes guts to step out of the box :thumbs: By the way I am a motorcycle guy also and always loved the cbx :cool: My bike has 6 cyl also but not as fast as the cbx.

:iagree: :eek:

curious to see the completed project :cheers:

I think the highest aftermarket hood I have seen is 3 1/2". That's about where I will be when I am finished fitting the hood. What you see there is the initial cut. Visibility is fine.

What is it a Valkyrie? Never mind, saw your sig. Goldwing. Nice bike. I used to have a Valkyrie also.

Visibility is going to be a little tough, but whatever works!

The picture is a little deceiving it's not as bad as it looks. Plus, it is going to be a little lower. Not much though. :lol:
