I don't think it'd look right.

look i have the parts some want to bash and hate but i think it would be cool not that many plus using a part from an rx7 im keeping it in the family that way. as for working i always take the hood off on my car makes it easier to see and i dont always hit my head so i just wanted to know if it would work so why do you have to hate and say its rice. in fact its my way of making the car the universal rx7. parts from second and third gen are on it. rx8 parts are on it cosmo parts on it why not first gen hood latch and hinges.

haha could you see the top working reversed and bunching up across the windshield. Also make the rotors spin right rather than left (when sitting in the car) and make it RHD haha.

I think this mod makes alot ov sence, Ive owned cars with just hood pins and it is a pain in the ars, PLUS if you set your hood on the roof, your car must allways be clean (otherwisw youl inevatably scrach your paint, Or screw up your hood if you set it on the ground...murphy's law)

There IS nothing in the front of the hood that we need to get to regularly

There are some people that think hood pins are ricy (not on REAL cars but they get misused so often), and when you have a cf hood this is a great alternative

Personally Ive ben contemplating doing it f I do youll be the first to see.
