For those requesting before/after pics...Here's some from the very first fitment/fabricating process...and yes, hood is fully functional
Thanks again for the comments...good and bad

I sure would like to know what are the dimensions of the L88 scoop ? They make the L88 scoop in diffeent sizes and this looks like a nice winter project.

WOW, that is a way nice ride....hood? meh, not sure.....the car though is f'n sweet! Paint motif is pretty cool...1st time I've seen one like that.
edit: OK, after seeing the new/other pics posted, I'm NOT liking it. Although it hardly looks cheap/ricer, something about it (the hood) just looks WRONG to me.

I've always wondered what an L88 scoop would look like on a C4. And I have to say, when I saw the subject, I was prepared to like it. But I don't. The scoop really doesn't go with the lines of the C4. It looks awesome on C3s. And I've seen it on second gen Camaros, and it looks good. Mostly because the shape of the front of the scoop matches the shape of the front of the car. But it just doesn't work on a C4. The center ridge is completely backward from the factory hood, with the indent down the center. And the shape of the front of the scoop doesn't match the car.
It's too bad. The work is top notch. I'm just not feelin' it.

I think it looks killer! Black out treatment in back reminds me of the Baldwin-Motion Vettes. Looks mean.
