Here it is new hood

Since I bought my car I wanted a Turbo coupe hood , well after being here on this site I realized that this site did not need another  non Turbo car with  a TC hood , and I like to be different . :hick:

 So with a special thanks to Justin  (jandmmustangs) for finding this for me .

 I proudly introduce  my new hood treatment. its from an 83 Fox Mustang and it's painted with textured satin black paint as a homage to the Boss Mustangs of 69/70 
 I really like it , but feel free to express any opinion you have :D

Hard to say.....get it out in the sun and let's see it. Scoops on these cars are often a task that's harder to pull off than the Stang guys.Our cars are a lot pickier in the looks department. Again,I need to see some pics outside to get the true "feel" of it.

 Will do tomorrow  I just bolted it on about 20 minutes ago and its dark outside :D
I agree it is hard to find a scoop that looks OK

 But IMO  I dig the 83 Fox scoop because it tapers at roughly the same angle as our hood ,
I actually tried an 82 Stang scoop but it didnt flow well with the lines on the car

I should also mention that I am not a fan of cowl scoops on anything other than an early (67-69)Camaro or 70-72 Chevelle so that limited my choices even further .:evilgrin:

JMHO, I think it would look better in gloss black.

Either paint the scoop to match the hood or maybe flat black the center of the hood ??

Can we get pics of it outside?  I bet it looks even better!

To me, the lines of these cars are perfect, and anything that sticks out, or protrudes from the body, only leads to distract from that.

Not everyone shares my feelings on the matter, though :hick:

Here are some daylight pics ,I think it looks better outside 
one thing
  I kinda agree on the gloss black probably looking good but, as I am seriously lacking in the autobody skill dept and the scoop was kinda rough.....
  the textured paint hides my incompetence :hick:
