Split Hoods
Split Hoods
I was looking around at andy's auto sport the other day and i noticed they had some intersting stuff, one thing of which was the split hood kit. It was universal I think, and looked legit. But I'm not sure, is it too good to be true, and would it work/look nice? Any comments?

i dunno, a universial kit for split hoods should be simple enough. hinges on either side (whichever way you split it) and probably a couple of gas springs to hold it up. the problem is finding a place to mount the parts really, though i suppose it can be done. as for looks, it would look mostly like a normal hood when closed, just with an extra seem on it. the biggest problem i can think of would be keeping the edges clean enough, but it's been done before so...yeah. i'd say give it a try, i bet it'd look pretty good in the end.

a guy around here had a civic with a split hood, it was pretty cool to see the seem in the middle was barely noticeable. go for it.

you can use pretty much anything. whatever you have access to or find easiest. a cut off wheel is what i use alot for metal work and would work great for the job.
