New VIP style hood, your input please...
We took the hood off of my SC300 and dropped it off at the body shop...
The idea is to make an SC300 functional, VIP, clean and subtle hood...
The prototype will be made from scratch and based off these pictures of the Tom's hood for the SC430...
What do you think?

GREAT! i've been waiting for a hood like this!!
i'd prefer it with just the front vent, but the rear vent will help drop underhood temps a bit more...
i'd say if you can make it to where we can keep the vents open and uncovered at all times, with no water damage.. and keep it clean with good fitment... i'll be the first to buy one! then paint it black to match my car of course.

Would the rear vent even work in this design??? I thought the windshield creates a bubble of air infront that the rear vent would actually suck air back in instead of venting out???

For this I think it would be beneficial because I know BN Sports and DMAX often vent their hoods at that area. Also most Mercedes models, the E46 M3 and 8-series have vents in the same area so I think it's safe.
