Custom evo style hood out of an na
For functionality purposes I decided to tear up an na hood i had laying around and make it functional for my set up.
I took two evo hood scoops that i go for free and molded the together. This is what i got.
Total cost about $100 for paint, spray max clear coat, some sand paper and fiberglass.

it is cut exactly for my set up. I still need to lay another coat of paint and clear so i will be touching it up a bit and prob adding mesh. And also decals.
i dunno what to do about the little vent. it kind of looks out of place.

I do not like painting.

The Big Ugly!
The idea is good, doesn't look bad from certain angles, but I do agree I think I would have used a vert hood. Since you had the NA one there why not if it does what you want.

ahh i would have just bought a sexy style hood before actually buying a hood for this project.
owner of shook motorsports kind of gave me the advice as to where and how to cut it. but the arrow piece i think thats whats being talked about was my doing and thats getting revamped

So glad you finally got new wheels......
Clean it up and it will look pretty good. I plan on cutting up an na hood when I go VMIC. But there will just be a square hole cut in an aluminum hood with a vent box built on top of the intercooler.
Sounds weird but if anyone has seen Peter from defined autoworks S14 13b-re they would know what I'm saying.

The lack of craftsmanship on this project really takes away from the overall image of the car IMO. I think it would have been more rewarding, if you'd have invested more time.
