Agreed.

That hood should not be on that car. It doesnt match any contour. Might as well have a mailbox on there and at least that might give some performance gain.

Id love for someone to make a hood that resembles a ford gt/gt40 hood, if there was enough room. Not to the same depth of course. Forget scoops I wanna see real inverted vents.
