I am not sure but man you would have to spend some money to make the engine compartment nice enough to have a clear hood.

i think a window is different from a whole hood being clear. Besides that, i think it would look tacky.

it might look good but only if
you painted the VCs
got nice caps for everything
got steel braid or nylon brade hoses
go look at the engine compartment thread to see how nice it would need to be

and seeing a nice v8 is not rive if you saw an ugly I-4 that would be rice

Yes I would still call that rice, even on a Vette. If I had that car, that part would come off and get painted, or I would swap hoods with someone else.

To each his own, but yeah I call that rice.
