yeah the design is cool, it's a good idea, just looks like whatever plug was made had some waves in it before making the mold. Should be able to correct it on the mouldings before painting with some body work though, kindof annoying.



But if waves are visible in a small jpeg they must be quite visible in real life, I'd like to see pictures of some straight edges laying across some of the questionable parts to see how bad it is.



would be nice if rob could chime in, he definitely has a better eye for this stuff than me.

i think it needs like more of a "leading up to the scoop" kinda thing, like the bulge sorta just goes flat hood BAM bulge for scoop.



sorta the effect throwing a rock through the bottom of your hood would cause.



a gradually increasing slope to the scoop would be mucho better.
