Its growing on me, just like the sleek look of the stock hood. Looking for some sides right now.

It doesn't look too bad. I would ditch the hood locks though.

lol. Ya the pins are holding it down for now. The hood latches but once you hit about 50mph....POP! Just bought the car, runs great but body maintenance and interior was definitely neglected.

Hood looks good. This one looks very clean and functional, unlike some of the more out there designs. It's also nice that it's painted and not flat black.

I hate to say it but the front bumper is what I'd get rid of. The integrated lower lip kills it utterly for me. A 92-96 bumper with a Wise front lip looks better, or a plain 97-00 bumper.
