Let's come up with a new hood design.
#162
What do you guys think of the design in the Stage21 hood? Seems like it could work fairly well if those back vents are in the right places. I haven't seen any CFD data on the NA yet to verify or disprove this... Link to the hood: yStage21z¤•iÚ× I know it was mentioned before as a viable candidate for this project, but just looking for your take on it.
Also, in for results of first finished product.

I am not saying that pins are not needed, just clearing up your hypothesis.

OK found a picture of the hood right before I put some finishing touches on it for the mold. This is a cell phone picture that I decided to take spur the moment, so the quality may not be great.

i'd make the scoop round with the front of the bumper, fade it a bit more instead of the 1.5" you have now, i'd also pull back that cut and the recession of it another 2", you want it to flow together, not look like a cheap addon.
heres the pic

It is how it will stay. Mold is already being made. I made this to work well and be affordable, not to follow the lines of the car and look good. More of a function over form. No ******* tone there, just restating my purpose with these.

It actually looks pretty good in person. It wasn't ALL smoothed out when I saw it a few weeks back...but you could tell it would look good painted.
It calls a lot less attention to itself than the add-on scoops I've seen...so the fact that it's not rounded with bumper will matter less.
The lip is elevated nicely, and rounded.
