I might get creative with it..I do kind of like the single high beam look just for the agressive nature of it, but kinda defeats the purpose of a "sleeper". As for the hood, i would like to keep my stock hood even though its a tad bit heavy.
and for the front under tray/skid plate, its been gone for a while. it was sagging when I bought the car, then go ripped off as I was backing out of my drive way one day.

yeah spacing the hood will look realy bad bcus the gap on the car are so flawless, i started to vent my hood but just sectioned it for fibreglass.
any way i say take the washer flid nozzles out and see if that help if it doesnt you can widen them alittle as needed. jmo

well the fluid nozzles I need..10 minutes from the beach salt and sand tend to grime up on the windshield. and I dont think i'm going to space the hood after looking at it just now..just due to like you said with the lines being so perfect.
I think I'm going to take one of the high beams out and start working on a 97+ conversion, lose the EGR and CC system to free up some space under the hood.

I cant look or remember right now,but if theres a rubber seal at the back of the hood by the windshield wiper cowl,you can pull that out and its should help flow without looking ugly.

i cant remember exactly when i bought it, but it measures 3inch inner diameter and 3 1/2inch outer diameter, i had it laying around from another project i worked on, i think it was five bux for 2 or 3ft at the depot.. i also used bondoglass for the molding and bondo putty for the finishing, sanding sucks but it was worth it, finish came out pretty smooth, still needs a wet sand with 2000 but pretty much complete

the turbo blanket is essential. it helped me out to the point where i was satisfied with under hood temps after just the blanket. I am opposed to header wrap as if any oil or contaminants ever get on it I would be scared of a fire being started. never know when you may spring a leak. I really like the highbeam idea. think i may try this one out too.
