And that's what I do now, lol. I really thought the glass hood would look nice with some subtle ambient lighting tucked around it at car shows, but like I said, too mcuh $$$.

I don't know - To me, all of the modern Ford engines look cluttered to me. I have included high end cars for what I think is a clean engine bay. Of course these are very high end, but even the Corvette and Camaro have nice looking engine bays as there is little clutter. Included in these photos is also a Cobra R and it looks cluttered to me.

put a blower on and powder coat the motor, with chrome as well, no worth showing off a dull black motor. powdercoat it ford blue with chrome heads and then do it.

but correct me if im wrong, but wouldnt that be heavy as hell? is it real glass or plexiglass? and wouldnt it get hot as **** in the engine bay?

That is rolling artwork. Kinda makes a typical mustang seem downright ugly in comparison.
