Well speaking for myself, things it's got going against it are:
1) Unpainted C/F
2) Decals all over it
3) Needless vents/grilles all over it
4) There is no number 4.
Having it painted might help. I actually like the way the front bodywork looks on that car, and the air dam looks like it would actually be functional on track... if it weren't for the enormous hole cut in the front of it. |
1) Paint is heavy (
I'd want it painted too)
2) It's a show car... hell even race cars are covered in decals. Decals = money at that level... i.e. this isn't just some dude's ride
3) Turbo motor = retarded hot. Those grills/holes used to be *stock* on the '98-'01 body style, albeit not so big... check out a rally car's hood!
And what "enormous" hole are you talking about? The one that cools the radiator, or the ones for the brake ducting?
All that said. It's still rice. Pay $2000 for a C/F hood that's not hardly lighter than the stock aluminum hood is a waste. You want a non rice hood with the above advantages, then get a sawsall and cut some heat evacuation vents in the stocker. That's not rice.
