the only thing i would to do to it now is to get a good looking body kit to make the car proportionate. dont get me wrong i love it looks badass, but even mine with the stock hood i think i need more to make the bumpers finish better.

the hood was 476 from cervinis w/ a 107 shipping fee due to its size. i got my hood painted along with getting a dent fixed so i got a deal but the hood alone came to 580 to paint fit. they have to cook the hood at 160 F to release a chemical to help with the painting.

Watch out for those sharp right turns at intersections. Hood obscures right pavement.

4inch cowl's are just too much for me, it looks aggresive though.

As a daily driver - na

On the drag strip - ya

Just my opinion, but as long as you like it that's all that matters. Edit: Is there anything under that hood to back up it's aggressive look or are you stock? More pictures if you're modded and you have some
