How does it look "Ricey"? What’s your qualifications for "Ricey"?
But thats cool I want your opinion.
Might be one of those things you need to see it on a vehicle to like it.

Hrmm... looks like it belongs on a Hyundai Tiburon. I'm not a fan of the "gills." Sorry!

I dont care for the hood...........like others its just my opinion.

What we really need is an effective way to vent the hot air out from under the hood that looks stylish and is all Mustang. Maybe a really cool vent system on the back of the hood. (not a big cowl)

The front of the Mustang is like a parachute. Knowhere for the air to travel out from under the hood.

Just my $0.02

Sorry, Just looks like something that you would see on a Honda etc..... Just dont like the gills or whatever you want to call them down the middle.

These cars are retro and that hood takes away from it.IMO

It looks nicely made but it's not my taste. I'm just not a big fan of something that looks like it belongs on a fish.
