i always wanted to see a hood where the corners extend to overlap the headlights. also a different type of ram air vent.

my photoshop sux but you get the idea.

sidenote: apology to who's ever beautiful car i jus hacked up, :P
Hmmm....Very interesting....I have seen hoods for other cars like that but I had not considered it for the protege....But our car may be a great candidate for that style...I will look into it in the next few days to see how much of a reality it would be.I'll let ya know..But I like the built in eyebrow idea...Not original but a nice idea.
 
i have an idea -- but its hard to explain and i cant find a picture that would best represent-- i'll keep looking in hopes to find a sample -- (boobs2)

How bout this one?

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.

this hood isnt bad i mean i like it but not all cars can pull it off. i have seen many cavaliers and the like use em. they arent bad but as previously posted not my cup of tea. i think for our car that design would be ok...unless its fully functional id say not do it. but good luck and i hope something sexy comes out from all of this!

dg best mod ever...I have raced my friend p5(with same mods except ram air) going up the Savannah bridge to see if the ram air works and my car would keep pulling smoothly through the RPM leaving him behind.

Here's a couple of pics from my custom hood experiment.

Need to finish off getting the wobbles out and then she's good to go.
