Gauging Interest on Louvered Hood?
Any Interest in this hood? I'm thinking of buying one for my car and at the same time having a mold made for reproduction.
They would be made of FRP.

Those do look pretty cool, not gonna lie. Not sure if I'd pay $500+ for one though. FRP is the biggest plus there.

Sorry, but I'm just not into the hood-hot-dog look.

Now, if you had someone making lightweight transparent hoods... (grin)

Nevermind, shipping that thing from Japan costs about twice as much as the hood LOL.

Always kinda liked the idea of louvers on the hood..
Classic American Hot Rod..
Consider a reversed louver downward above the headlight buckets..ALA930 Slantnose...

I've always loved those hoods, it'd be a definite buy for me if the price isn't too outrageous.
