I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Visual section or in here...
I've been torn for a while on whether to cut out the opening in my hood. I don't like the fake scoop look, but at the same time I'm worried that if I cut it out the hood it will catch a lot of air (i.e. air drag, dirt on the engine, vibrating the hood, etc.).
If I cut it out the question will be whether to leave it open or fabricate some kind of mesh filter in the opening, and just block it behind that so that air doesn't get in. That way it at least looks functional. I don't have a hood air intake such as the Mach 1 shaker hood so theres not really any reason to have it opened for air.
It's also been suggested to me to paint it black but I don't think it will look that good. Granted, it will probably look better than it is now but I think I would rather have it opened up.
I have a dremel tool standing by... just need to figure out what to put in there.
Here's a pic of the hood, there's another one in my sig:
