Anyone here have a picture of this hood actually on a car? I'm kind of digging it because i feel like it looks better than the D1's and i'm hoping it'd still get some good airflow and help keep my rb25 nice and cool. Vents look like they'd be in the right place....right where the wind would hit the engine and shoot up into the vents.

Anyway, thoughts on the looks? Any other photos or personal testimony to it's function/appearance?

Thanks

i think it would look ok if you painted it, as long as its for a good purpose, which it sounds like it is. idk anything about fitment though..

Same, i think it would look much better painted. Especially if you could all see the portfolio of influences, planned parts, photoshopped end prodcuts, etc. I'm trying to blend sport class with the flash of import style and tradition, but i think when it's all finished, it will be something to write home about.
