How hard will this be?

I've had this honda civic model sitting around for a while.. Just now opend it up and started on it.
well i'm moving away soon and though it would be a cool idea if I could make this model into a replica of my friends rice.. err car...

he's getting different ground fx so i'll have to worry about those later..
My question is, How hard will it be to get/make this hood??

Re: How hard will this be?

woah, thats ugly. are those scoops even functional?

anyway, it shouldnt be too hard to create it yourself. draw it out on the hood. Each cowl probably would consist of 3 sides of styrene, two skinny ones for the sides and a large flat peice for the top. A little putty and sanding could smooth them out.

lol yea they are "functional" for the motor that really doesnt need it..

I keep telling him to get a c/f hood.. gunmetal wheels..lose the wing and graphics.. go for a clean look... but no...

I should make the model of how his car is now.. front end is cracked.. no rear bumper.. He hit a dead deer heh

Anyone interested in making the hood for me? And if it's a good job maybe do the ground FX when I find out which ones he gets??

Re: How hard will this be?

why do u guys think that civic is bad?? other then the Mongoose hood, its not bad, tribal graphics are pretty sweet, the Gt-Wing looks good on it, prolly give it some down force too, but the hoods gotta go...

The wing would only create downforce if it got up to speed. Also why would you need down force on the rear when its a FWD?
