 Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2009 5:39 pm Post subject: Custom hood ideas |
 |
|
So i picked up a hood off an 87 rs-no louvres-from the junkyard the other day on my run. I was planning on custom making a hood, but i have no idea what to do lol. So im looking to you guys for advice. Again. So if you have seen any cool hoods then let me know scoop or cowl. Doesnt matter to me-just needs to look badass lol. And NO BIG RED ONES lol im more of a blue kinda guy  woohoo. |

There's a distinct problem with cutting funnel-shaped holes in the top of hoods here in the Great Pacific Northwest. Can't seem to quite remember what it is though...  |

Yeah ive been watching that thread. If i could find a pic of the original camaro hood i might try that. Im alright with metal and stuff. But i have very talented friends too.
I dont have that distinct problem down here. I actually live pretty close to that guy with that thread. So rains not much of a problem. |

| Its a cool design, especialy with all the underside body work he did. That car has a few very trick peices hiding under its skin. |

It's pricey, 147,000 yen. Plus shipping, if you can get them to ship it for you
Today, 147,000 yen is about $1,634  |
