hey mate,
i could do a quick photochop if you want to see what it would look like on your car...

personally i think it doesn't quite work. the snout is a bit boxy, and flares larger toward the front. sure looks mean though, as only bigass hood scoops can
i like the idea of a more beefy T/A scoop though, like the modified AAR scoops that a couple members have. they look awesome.

Actually I think it does work better on your car, Stroker. Maybe it's the black grille and headlight trim.

I was thinking to rake it the OTHER direction. With the top farther out than the bottom  :clueless:

So you were thinking to make it look more like a six pack hood? I think if I was going to do that I'd just buy a six pack hood. Then again, I'm the guy who likes the original design  :bigsmile:

I don't think it looks like a 6 pak scoop. Everybody has one of those.  :villagers:

My reasoning was that the six pack scoop is real big and leans forward, whereas the TA scoop leans slightly back. since it's so big to begin with, making it lean forward would make it more like a six pack scoop to me.

i could live with it on your car.i do however think it would look better with the opening more rounded than square. :2cents: your chally looks just plain mean anyway.

Looks cheap, junky homemade, about 1/100 as good as what you already have. Wouldn't ruin my car if I were you. Puts me in the mind of the Emperors New Cloths story.  But that's my opinion, I like em as stock as I can get, cardboard dealer floor mats....   :2cents:

Now that I see it up close, I am not really in favor of it.  But it does look better on your car than the blue one.

I like the idea and I am actually presently doing a modified/raised AAR hood for my cuda but the pic makes it look too cartoony.I think you need to have less overhang out the front and maybe a little more detail closer to the lines of the stock T/A hood but taller and wider-OK get back to work on it!   :crazy:
