I personally molded the scoop into my hood and just wanted to take a pole. Some love it, some hate it. Obviously I love it otherwise I would not have done it. It takes nuts to do something nobody else has done. I guess I also have to be nuts to do something nobody else has to their Cobalt. Keep in mind that it is a very efficient heat extractor and no water or debris gets in the engine bay from it. Thanks for the opinions.

i love the idea and the workmanship that went into it, but from a appearance standpoint, it needs *more* to it. extractor vents on either side of it, or making it bigger, or painting it matte black. something to make it stand out from the wall of red the rest of the hood has to offer.

 

its just a little small however, the fact that it is functional adds a lot

 

Im unsure about it... i voted in the "poll" lol. I think it could be bigger.

later

 

I couldn't make it any bigger without the hood losing its structural integrity. A bigger scoop would have made it really flemsy. I put the SS logos on each side to help dress it up a little. I have been considering painting a black stripe down the center, but I don't know if a stripe on the hood by itself would look good or if I would have to carry it down the rest of the car which I really do not want to do.

 

meh.

 

Here is a pic of the ss logos on the side I was talking about.

structural integrity of the hood.... pshhh. Just made sure no fat chicks sit on the hood and u will be good.. lol...

 

looks good

 

Not a fan at all. Doesn't match the car in any way.
Though I do appreciate all the work that went into it, everything was done nice and clean.

 

Sorry man but I dont think it can be saved. Personally I think a whole new hood is in order. Cobalt addiction offers the Carbon Fiber ITrenz hood, lot sleaker lookin, lighter weight, and performs the same function.

 

i say if you like your car a lot puts something worthy i guess. Something thats good that will cost you! That thing looks like it cost you 5$.

 

Don't like it..especially the logos on the side...just looks cheap and out of place. Deffinantly not clean looking at all.

 

my thoughts. looks like it's very well done, but i think it would look better if it was a little bigger

 

damn so many people say hate it, gotta show a little love, i respect that you did all that **** yourself, def. not something i could do

 

from dead on it looks like the hood is raised for SC clearance on a V engine...course were inline, so that obviously cant be the case

 

it doesn't look molded. lol. it looks like u went to pep boys n adhesived it on. thats just what it looks like though. if it were a TINY bit bigger n wider deff would look better. i like it though.

here's my hood. i have 2 blue racing stripes on it. alot of people don't like it, n they say it looks unfinished. i like it bc nobody around here has just stripes on the hood. in the pic though, it looks like it's not straight n jagged. thats bc i took it on a picture phone.

 

I think its way to small... even though its molded and functional.. it still just looks fake to me

 

I do appreciate all the input. It's here to stay, but I know it's not everybody's cup of tea. I don't like carbon fiber because it is almost impossible to repair and might be 8-10lbs lighter than the steel hood. More importantly they don't fit that well. The same can be said for a fiberglass hood. In a lot of cases, a fiberglass hood is actually heavier than a steel heood depending on the car. I run a body shop so I try to look at things from a repairability stand point too.

 

its an acquired-taste lol.... i kind of like it, however

 

mmm it looks rather diminuitive.

I appreciate effort, but it just needs... something else.

 

Any ideas? All input is appreciated.

 

It just looks a little alone, a little island on a vast sea of hood, lol. I dunno, it's not BAD, just lacks something

 

can you get a pic looking from the inside out

 

Is this what you are looking for?
