maybe if it was really really built for drag racing it could be acceptible.

That hood does not look very Mad Max. Oh wait, maybe it does. Err, I'm confused. I guess what I'm saying is, the "cheese" isn't working in this case. I have to give him props though for using a Mopar-esque style hood, that was a good idea, but didn't aesthetically pan out in practice. Otherwise, the rest of the car looks the shizzy, and yes, it does look like it was built to run.

idk....those scoops look good on max wedge a bodies...and that's about it, in my opinion....but i'm not big on scoops of any sort...i like the flat hood cudas, challengers, runners, etc. better than the air-inlet sort

I say your rear wheels have to be a certain width before you can have a hood scoop like that,lol

Doesn't fit the car, no, but at least it's a MOPAR scoop (ala the SS Darts and Cudas) and not some Chevy cowl induction!
