Is it just me... or does the whole car look out of proportion...

Those look like 13" wheels... the scoop is the size of a door... and that grill.... I dunno.

I dont see you posting your ideas and little projects to let other people see? So stop bagging him for doing something different. You may not like it, but if he does then its all good. And i think if the car was resprayed in a nice new finish and a few other little things done, it wouldnt look as bad as you make it out to be. Give him a break for standing out hey?

I have read ALOT of the site, i go through it every time i am on the internet. All i have seen is you "talking" about your engine, and bagging things. Be constructive and its fine, but all you do is bag him. "Whole car looks horrible" / "Ugliest scoop ever" / "Putting it nicely" .... Real cool.

Your engine is teh crapiest thing ever worked on, your taste is so shit. Putting it nicely.

Yeah, glad we could both sort it out, but constructive criticism is always better for both parties in the end. I read about your engine and it would be nice to see it come through as you say. Back on topic now.

to me, all u12's look ugly (aussie delivered ones) but once they are lowered with some NICE wheels... they look fucken sex.

I know that my wheels sux but it works just fine for now and I can burn some tires without worrying about the cost of a new set of tires, but yeah, it looks awful and doesnt have good grips.

Back on topic, that scoop was my first fiber glass project, all was done from scratch about 2 years ago, and I made it that size (width) because I wanted it to look part of the car and not like a glued aftermarket add on (dont know if i explained myself),  maybe Im talking BS but that was my idea, and criticism are welcome.

Im going to respray the car, but first I want to know how to improve the look of the scoop or any other part of the car, so comments and criticisms are welcome

Yeah aftermarket scoops i believe are too thin, and dont even suit the car.

I actually reckon that looks good. On that colour is doesn't stand out too much for some reason. Pity the number plates in your state are bright yellow though!

Rather than a scoop, what do people think of the idea of small vents in the front corners of the bonnet? I've been thinking for some time about that and had the idea that letting fresh air circulate around the area where the air intake and air box are may help to stop them heating up so much... and you couls put one on the other side to make it symetrical. Don't know if it'd work though. Any comments??

Yeah your scoop doesnt look too bad, but i still believe unless its functional i would prefer the clean look.
