Metric-man Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 I'll bite. I know you've been receiving allot of flak on the board lately. I would love to see a fiberglass hood or CF layer hood cause every one is all talk and no action when it comes to our cars. Even the well known companies. So I would say something with vents or and induction cowl or stock. The front fenders would be great addition too with side openings to allow the engine compartment to cool more efficiently. Good luck, post your results, and ignore the nay Sayers. If they turn out you'll defiantly sell them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conan_702 Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 I would be interested in a hood ..........a cowl C/F or C/F 83 hood would be great .......since no one else can do this ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboquest21 Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 I'd probably be interested in the "single" hump design. I wanted to make my own vented hood from the stocker but if yours looks tempting enough i'd be interested. a 2.5" rise seems kinda high to me though, i'd definitely need to see a pic of it. also, will they be able to clear OVCP and as far as issues with when it rains will it drain onto parts that won't be affected by moisture? (sorry for all the questions, just needed to get them all out and maybe even stuff you should/could consider). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 83 hood !!!! style but i would like a WRC EVO Viii  hood design for our quest! or similar to this! must get the heat out of the hood! http://www.nopionline.com/index.cfm?fuseac...eludeCFHood.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svo Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Stock hood with slight cowl - the cowl hood would get heat out and might have enough room for some hidden hood gauges. I gave CHC som sh!t but if he makes any hood - Hat is off to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidNiteRide89 Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 This is my favorite scoop on a SQ, second would be a nice MILD cowl, not some huge thing. I talked to the owner of this car, and this is what he told me.... The scoop is from a 96 Camaro SS. we basically just but the stock hood, screwed the scoop in place, then mar glassed, and fiber glassed it over smooth. http://members.aol.com/midniteride89/images/purple%20starion%201.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 I like the old school hood mounted guages! Mechanical Fuel and Oil Pressure Oh Yea I would also suggest you keep the lines angular and don't do much rounding of corners and such. It'll match up better with the car that way. mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backslider Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 I like these two types, http://164.109.57.200/images/LAGCFPredatorHood.jpg http://164.109.57.200/images/L8310934.jpg I really want something behind the radiator and a inlet for the air filter area. Not nesessarly like the above photos. I personally didnt like the dragon hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conan_702 Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 I like the idea about the small C/F cowl hood for maybee some guages ........Has anyone ever thought of a 69-70 SHELBY GT 500 MUSTANG hood style .......its very cool and functional if u want >>>>>>>>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redquest Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 I'd like to see my hood done in all fiberglass ;D Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88BlueTSiquest Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 I don't know, if you can pull of the Dragon style, and it won't look out of place, it could be cool, especially if the vents will suck out the heat(once modified to be functional). I'd personally like to see a slightly more aggresive looking '83 style. Maybe a slightly larger intake scoop, and more pronounced hood bulge. Almost like a Cowl induction hood, with an inlet, and some exhaust vents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidNiteRide89 Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 For those that want a cowl style, How does the '60s 'Vette 396SS hood sound? Perfect! That's a great lookin cowl hood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KO Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 I'd like to see a cowl induction fiberglass hood resembling Jerry's with about a 2-3" rise; clean, mean, and not ricey which is the main thing I want to stay away from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
