maybe if you mold the scoop and make it more subtle but just doesnt fit right now.

good concept and like the origionality but bro.... its def not a sleeper with a huge hole in the hood. ... if anything have then do a reverse scoop like the ferrari's do or even the new sti. have a reverse induction hood instead of a protrustion.

just my 2 cents

ehh..idn, but i think your on the right track- some rounded edges, better fitment and like already mentioned maybe turned around (water intrusion). Don't let the jury knock the wind out of your sail - i've never liked stillens hoods, don't compliment the G at all- few designs get nailed the first time! Good luck and be different.

no, not molded but not glued on either. it's held by 5 screws so I can take it off. one thing i like is the heat is vented out when I park the car. thanks for the honest opinion. I'll keep it for a while.

There are a few more on my cardomain. Prob a few on my hd, but not really worth uploading. I had the Stillen S/C for less than a year before I yanked it.

G35 Coupe "Sport Package"
the 70's called and they want their hood scoop back.

the Stillen is the most right of two wrongs.

I don't know how much time, money, and effort you spent on it. It looks ugly. get the stillen hood or make something else. I don't even know why it has to be so big when the stillen hood has a smaller hump.
