The front vent on the hood looks a little droopy. But other than that I love it. I can't wait to see one on a car and in CF.

I think that looks extremely good. I also think the vent are in the correct place to be the most functional.

Great job.

I think the droopy look is from the latch area where the underside is thicker. I believe the opening height is concurrent across the entire front hole. Most likely once the hood is painted and the underside is black then it shouldn't be noticeable.

Looking good! Will the windshield washer nozzles be hidden in the rear vent?

the question of water damage is still lingering... would there be any potential of this? I have always questioned this when it comes to vented hoods, in all cars but have yet to get a reply ...

how much does that ridge rise up?
it would be nice if it was flatter with the hood

I like it, but i think it needs more stickers and a giant wing perhaps.

on a more serious note though, I hope you cant reach the hood latch from that front vent. im pretty sure criminals are attracted to cars with aftermarket hoods, cause they can guess what goodies lie beneath, and if the can pop the latch...
