Never liked eyelids. They always look cheap.


I think it would look killer without the eyelids and inner canards.

Your car though.

Car is built to have a track look, sometimes tracked too so yeah yeah function > form. Crappy pics attached:
Never mind what others think, do YOU like the hood and dive planes? That's the only opinion that really matters.

I like it - I think the color of the hood ties in well with your roof and mirrors. I probably wouldn't have gone with the canards and eyelids personally, but with that being said, as long as you like it I wouldn't think anymore on it. It's your car, and if you like it that's what matters - you're the one driving it after all.

I would encourage you not to feel obligated to alter or change anything because your friends, or other people don't like it. I think you're going to feel conflicted if you try to stylize your car the way you want to, but also want to achieve your friends approval who are going to have their own style, ideas, etc about what looks good - that's why they have their own style, and you have yours. Nonetheless I always love seeing something really unique being done, even if it's not something that I would do - great work!

Here's what I think would look good.
Painted hood, but leaving vents unpainted.
Shortened outer cannards.
No eyelids.

I did a crappy photoshop of what that could look like.

When I make your car payment I'll tell you what to change...

Seriously though you are missing a big wing. Otherwise it's befitting of your region right? Dubai baby! It's okay even if you just look the part.

I personally think it looks good. A little over the top but some cars look 100x better in person. Everything about your car is nothing like what you see all the time in the sates, again it's your region.

Looks like an evasive motor sports hood like on the S2Ks.

The hoods looks good either way (painted/as is)...removing the canards and eyelids would give a much cleaner look, and remove the risk of pelting people with random debris should those items ever fly off on the freeway...
