There's a hundred things you can do to a hood. What is it you want to do to it? Be more specific please. :)

Love it when even a 2nd reply gives you nothing to work with. :devil:

There is a tutorial to make a cowell induction hood here:

What you have to do depends on what you want to achieve though.

Well you have to know what you want to do before we can help. This is a pointless post if you dont have an idea in mind.

check out the times on the last three post! lol

OK, you have a start, what else do you want to do???

or kinda like this hood:D

HERE

could i do this kind of hood with the holes i made or does it make it look ugly

So you want to make that hood with the large triangular holes look like the one on the subaru?


Well...

yeah, does it look ugly?

Why do we care? It's your model car. Do whatever you want to it. :mad:

modelcarmaster16, if that is your real name , whatever shape you find on a hood, it can be recreated with styrene sheets. Styrene sheets are thick sheets of white or clear plastic you can buy at hobby shops. There are many different widths (is that even a word?), look at which one would best suits your need for bending and cutting shapes for the hood. You should make the shape (or scoop) out of the styrene sheets and put it on the hood as if it were the scoop, and putty up the edges of the styrene-made scoop shape so it blends in with the hood. you'll find yourself sanding and puttying many times, it'll be over eventually... primer and paint.


DISCLAIMER: I've never worked with styrene :p
