Here is some pics of my stock hood i'm making an evo hood out of it. Remember this is progress pics and the hood is by no means close to being done.
I put pieces of paper in place to show were the center vents will be . I will also be putting the vents that are on the side.
So i got a fire extinguisher ready so ya's can burn me if ya want LOL

Very nice custom work. Now, I'm no body shop guy, but that's body filler right? Will that be ok for a hood? Just seems like the temp fluctuates a lot near the engine bay. If I'm totally wrong, just ignore me, but I'm just curious.

Thats pretty awesome man, im not a big fan of the rest of ur car, but it doesnt look bad, just not my style. But that hood is bad ass man, good luck with it and i cant wait to see it done.

Yes i have 19 inch AXIS TC MOD's sitting in the corner wating for rubber.
AS far as the heat flux problem. Under the body filler i put to layers of fiber glass matte and resin. But as far as the heat that matte that is under your hood is apparently there to keep the heat of the engine from warping your hood. I could be wrong if so correct me.
greenfire: You dont have to be a fan of the rest of my car. as long as i'am thats all that matters to me LOL

I was just wondering something and anyone can answer me on this .
Is there a EVO hood available for the sunfire? I was just wondering if im the first person to try doing this also with the evelids on a evo style hood?

Looks good man, I think you should make it look a bit more agressive (maybe make the indents a bit more pronounced)
Good work nonetheless.

I honestly don't know if there is an Evo hood for the Fires or not... hmmmm
But I'm adding eyelids to my Evo hood right now... Stage 1 was completed tonight
So I guess you could say we are tied, but on different parts of the same project... lol
hahaha Thats pretty funny stuff. post some pics for us all to see.

Looks good mark.
very nice. But i was wondering if there was an EVO with eyelids on a sunfire anywhere. As far as i know ill be the first to have one with eyelids on a fire. But i could be wrong so dont quote me on that.

hey matt i dont know if you know this but its not nice taking other peoples cars and making it your owne thats the yellow cavalier from sound speed i know the guy that ownes it so dont take peoples cars its not cool man.
Dude that hood is going to look SICK when done. I love it. Gives me ideas for my own hood project I have in the works. Your ride is pretty sweet. Maybe change the front bumper IMO. Maybe to the sunfire bomex front would look pretty sweet.
Good work on the hood, Cant wait to see the finished product.
Regards,

i don't think he ever said it was his own.... misleading, maybe, with it in his sig... but he never said anything.
I'm tellin' Uncle Ben!! You stole his RICE!!
"premiere cavalier" coming soon to a street near you!!
bad ass bro, i love the way thats coming out. one suggestion- mold in the fenders to the front bumper, it would look really clean that way. and since your at it with the fiberglass and body filler already, you could do it inbetween coats

i think it looks awesome!
although, looking at Mark A's pic...it almost makes me wanna tell you to make the raised up part at more of an angle, instead of just a square shape. also makes me wanna say that the raised up part should be higher...
other than that it looks bad ass.

Yeah i see what you mean as far as the angle. But its close lol
The one on my car kinda matches the width of the opening on the front bumper.
Thanks for the comments everyone Appreciate them all.

I really like the eyelids, they make the fires look soo much better. It really compliments the front end mods you have done. Keep going.
y2kgt: great work...man i cant wait to see it done.....especially with the 19's on. nice job
