    What DVD player is that?
    I have to second this. Absolutely the best hood scoop EVER on a VX.

    Also, the world's tiniest DVD screen! :gring:

    You'd better start fabbing up some hood scoops for the rest of us peons.

    GREAT job.

    If I don't like it, I can paint it back.

    If anyone has any graphics ideas, send them my way.
    I've always liked this combination of green & orange, there's just somethin' in my brain that gets all gooey when I see it...
    I guess it doesn't hurt matters any that it was one of my faves to drive in Gran Tourismo...

    Mark, your quality of craftmanship is simply stunning & breathtaking. Don't forget to paint the cladding "bolts" lime-green, too.

    In addition, does the T-Bird hood scoop have a "drain hole" for rain water??? Otherwise, you're gonna have a small lake of water where the hood scoop has the "moon crater" in front of the scoop???

    Thanks very much,
    I've been looking for another TBird hood...

    Surprisingly the scoop doesn't pool water and
    I did retain the stock drains for the insert.

    I still have the stock insert, I'll bond some kind of scoop to it.

    I've been playing with photochop for paint ideas and watching every car show on TV (DVR ROCKS) I want to do something really unique.
    The good thing is it doesn't take much paint for our VXs.
    Ldub, I do like that color combo too.

    This weekend I'm working on my side mirriors.
    I'm doing something really neat!

    One other thing I wanted to mention, don't black out the "B" pillars, IMO, that's a big part or where the VX gets it's unique appearance.

    Love scoop

    I love the hood scoop. Starting my search for a t-bird hood NOW.
    You said you did a carbon fiber 'dip' process? It looks so good! Was it difficult? On with my search. Scott

    Don--- Awesome website!!! Thank you for sharing it with us. I spent hours on it playing with different paint colors, window tint, vehicle height, wheels, and tires. Very entertaining. Let's me know what looks good and what doesn't BEFORE I possibly waste any money.

    Looks like I will be painting my VX new Viper Green.
    I'll do all the labor, and I might get some free paint!(fingers crossed)

    Thunderbird hood years 2002 to 2005.

    Here is the progress of the new mirror installation.
    The VX is kinda dirty.
