please circle where you're talking about. i think I know and will explain if it is what I think it is that you are thinking(damn that was a hard sentence to put together)
 
so you see the lines outlined in yellow,they give a nice flow down the hood,then you add in the line out lined in white,and it causes interference with the yellow lines,seen in black.

this is just my opinion,if you don't agree,it's your choice,but don't try to change my mind.

now im not raggin on this hood at all. i put in some deep consideration when i bought mine on getting the gemini. i think it looks GREAT! however............i go to UH and there are 2 STI's and 1 evo i see on a weekly basis with the same style hood and mainly the reason i didn't get the gemini was because i want to paint the sides of my hood like this one. if the lines are broken i cant paint it that way. i know i can paint it like bigwoofer did his, but i didn't want to do that. but like i said, im not raggin on the gemini. awesome hood!

soor,I feel like we are kinda whoreing his thread.

I don't photoshop,so,I can't really help here anyway.
 
yeah thats what I thought you were gonna say. but the parts I circled on this pic need to be that way to it can flow better with the lip. If you actuall follow a straight line from the top of the hood to the base, you'll see that it matches up after the lip. Plus, it looks a lot better up close that in the pics.

This is the hood I am going to use for the project ,and I have had these vents lying around for ever....so I just put the two together to see what they look like.
