If you could make it out of plexiglass and ditch the hood, I'd drive around town with it like that all of the time.

My body shop was joking around with that idea, I told them that would be amazing, but not possible unless I have like a ton of money to burn!

It looks like one of those boxes when you open the lid there's another one inside, and another...........

I think it looks great. Since it traps heat, if all you use it for is shows, then I've got no complaints.

Excellent craftmanship and perfect for shows or magazine spreads.

For practical purposes, I'd leave it off the rest of the time.

It's definately a show piece that helps push the car over the top. Nice work.

I know you put a lot of work into it BUT the motor is nothing to hide! It looks like your hiding something, even if your not. I give you major props for the work but its not my cup of tea!

Yea adam... stop hiding that APS TT underneath!! lol...

The FAT intercooler ain't fooling no one...

I think it looks great for show and all... but if I had your APS, I'd have a plexiglass hood to show everything off!
