Too much?
 
So pending the return of my email to DG Motorsports and the photochop in the graphics section, I might be purchasing the carbon fiber ZL1 scoop. I'm imagining I'm going to have to cut the back of it to make it fit right on a hood with louvers... I doubt they thought about the louvers when they made these, because they ARE listed for 93-96.

So I'm guessing it will kinda look like the VFN style hood where ya have the louvers and then the cowl in the middle, only in this case it'll be a scoop. My question, though, leave or get rid of the stripes? I'm thinking the stripes *might* (I need to visually see it, in my head everything always looks ok lol) look ok with the scoop.. if it comes out the way I think it would then it'd almost look like the stripes are coming down the sides kinda like Grant's.

So if I get this scoop, what should I do?
Leave the stripes on, customize them if needed...
Remove the stripes...
Don't do the scoop..

i'd redo the stripes in carbon fiber to match the scoop then have em wrap around the scoop. actually i wouldnt even get a scoop. i'd get a real hood.

yeah I'm going to get a new hood, but in the mean time this would be a cheap alternative to tide me over.

i totally agree. Why not just save what you have for what you really want or what your gonna need, instead of buying something cheaper and then buying something better later cause the first one broke or something. you knwo what i mean

because do you know how long it'd take me to save up over a grand to buy a carbon fiber hood? I wouldn't have it until like 2010-2015.

then dont get a carbon fiber hood, get a used cowl or SS or whatever hood you want just not carbon fiber and if you need to get a used one then so be it. its not like a used one will not function improperly, as long as its clean and not dented or ne thing.

a bolt on scoop looks like a redneck made it, they have a gap that even when filled will crack and look like ***, not to mention why a carbon fibre hood? if you leave it cf your a ricer
