Great work!! I'm still looking at it at all angles to see if it jives with my likes. You will never see another hood like that on a mk8 ,one of a kind!!

:shifty:
The car is too overdone for my tastes. But I can appreciate the craftmanship that went into the hood.

I'm definitely a fan. I'd like to see it without the yellow but that's just me. Great job though

Admire the work. Hate the execution. The stripe makes it look better and I hate the stripe.
Now this is nothing against you OP, you are a good guy and a good member. I respect the balls to try something different and I appreciate the performance mods done to the car but that hood is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen on a Mark.
Reminds me of those poetry reading aliens on Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

I respect your opinion but these pictures don't do it justice. In real life it shows alot better. and we all have our own style . Some people like it plain. It's like vanilla vs choc.

I like the idea but I IMO it should be wider on the hood it looks to narrow and a little to high but that's just my opinion.

Nice fiberglass work but it looks like you put a 90's Civic F&F paint job on a luxury car. It looks as bad as my wheels do
Man, you really hate your wheels don't you?

No disrespect it's your ride but love the attempt at something different but that yellow stripe ruins anything that you could possibly do to change the look of the car and same with mudflaps :s
Also it looks backwards don't like the way it opens up it really clashes with the mark grille that being said I'm glad it's parked in your garage and not mine
That being said Aslong as your happy with the bumble bee bastard mark viii that's all that matters

like the hood and it would look very good with m8muscle bumper, as for the stripes and the mudflaps not so much. You did a damn good job on the hood, now if someone could make a nice wing for the gen 2.

I think the hood and the stripe go good together.
I think what he's done here is being missed.
I think he's given the Mark VIII a muscle car treatment. Much like the muscle cars of the 60s, where you had the benign luxury version, but sometimes they offered the street package with the big hood, flaps, stripes, and massaged engine in limited numbers. This is also the design language of the late 60s, early 70s.
He's working within the design language of the Mark VIII, but the purpose isn't to create something that looks a fast executive shuttle.
