Photo shoppers, I need your help!

I am working on getting my 350Z manifold under my hood again, this means I have to have custom work done to my hood. What I need is someone who is good with photo shop to help me out here.

The following description is what I am looking to see. In my hood there are 2 slits, one on the right add on the left, they run verticly up and down most of the hood. You can see what I am talking about from the pick I have below. What I would love to see is to have the hood raised gradualy form where the slits(right to left) first begin in the front of the hood and all the way back too the back of my hood. I want to have it done gradualy and ending about 5 inches high in the back. If you could please help me out that would be awesome! I plan to make this a reality in a little bit but in the mean time I would love to see what it will look like. Thanks!

BTW if your confused about what I am lookign to see teh designe is very simaler to a 93 mustang cobra hood.

Heres the pic I would like to see this done too.

5 inches!!!!!!!!!!! Yikes, that's a huge cowl. A 3" cowl is pretty big for a Stang and 5" cowl is what you'd see on some of 351 Windsor motors with twin-screw blowers. Is the 350 Z manifold really that much taller than the stocker?

Pretty nice job, thanks for helping me out.

Dave I could probably get away with 3 inches. Thing is I need the 3 inches about half way up the hood, and for it to flow properly the hood would have to keep rising. Well see, I'm just getting an idea for things.

All I have to say is.....

Ethan you don't drive a muscle car. You drive a family sedan. Get over it, and quit trying to make your car more "muscular"

Having A supercharged Maxima is definatally far far better then if I got a z28 Camaro. I am in love with the sound it makes at idle, part and full throttle, and the BOV is awesome. I love it more then the V8 grumble of the Z. The power is incredible and the looks I get are priceless. I was at the gas station tuesday and two random people came up to me and asked me all about it. I have one of the most unique cars in my city.

And I was just kidding w/ Ethan BTW. I PM'ed him a while ago recommending mustang style dualies for his 2k2.

I think it would look much better if you could make it a sort of bulge running down the middle instead of the wedge look. Either way though, it will look sweet.

Fixed it for you


I think a 3" Mustang style cowl would look awesome on Emax's car.

okay okay, maybe not

maybe this is what you had in mind (a bit more drastic than Wizzamax's)



IMHO, 5" is a bit too much...

Emax why dont you put a scoop or just cut a hole and make it look like a hot rod that would be intresting.

Haha, sweet, you did a great job and that maxstang is pretty funny, lol.


And everyone if I decide to do this it's for power only not looks. A tape on hood scoop is unexceptable.
