That's kickass!

Question: How will the plastics under the hood holdup to the sunlight?

Interesting. But a little too pricey for my taste.

I can see someone buying that hood with an aftermarket strut tower brace and totally tossing the metal bar through the glass!

Hmmm... A little Hot Wheelsy. If you had 8 Weber downdrafts on a Cosworth V8, you might pull it off.

Interesting idea but what if your engine looked like this?
Sorry Paul, I couldn't resist showing everyone your dirty engine bay.

Why "too bad"?

I like it, but that price is a little steep. Maybe after the Kenne Bell is in

It certainly brings the bling. Not my cup of tea, but for a show car it would be pretty slick if the engine was worthy of viewing.
