New hood for my car what do u guys think?

Not too bad actually.

I agree that you should find a different car to put money into but what you've done so far is tasteful.

I came in here expecting unpainted carbon fiber on a Civic.

Viper GTS
 
My friend has the same car blacked out. There are a few pics of his car on my site.

As for the hood being functional im thinking about fabricating a pipe that goes straight into my intake manifold or atleast having the hole blow over my k&n filter.

currently my filter is in the fender wall.
 
I always liked those cars for some reason, and used to lease a black 2000 GT. (I have since graduated to its big brother, the 2005 GTO, which has a similar hood.) How does it run and sound with the mods?

Winter or not, you should allow cool air into the engine compartment.

the hood in back has a nice gap where hot air is let out. engine is running a little bit cooler now. i thought it would be a better idea keeping the engine warm for winter as im not gona be beating on it like i do in warmer months.

Car runs fine and sounds really mean. i set off alarms left and right. once i get headers itll probly be raspy but still sound good. performance wise its quick but havent taken it to the track yet.

to each his own, no offense taken.

i just dont want to have the stereotypical hook up car like a civic, integra or wrx.

i couldnt really afford anything better, as im only 19 and just paid the car off myself
