YOu know what would be a nice hood? One that is inspired by a GT40 One that turns the front bumper into an air foil

I've seen some FDs with hoods like that, one-offs. But the V12 is tall with the intakes on. You could add those vents to any hood pretty much.

It seems like you are trying to ensure nobody copies your build with all these military spec fasteners and fittings.   :secret:

I believe your project is safe from patent infringement.
