You have no clue how much I'd learned when I jumped into a project like that. I'm just turning 20, so try to remember back you didn't know anything about motors or had little hands on experience. I'm sure everyone remembers those first few times when you worked on your car.

I did the scoop as my metal shop project and I had to do sketches, measurements, dimensionals drawings, and drafting. And I'm going for an Industrial Physics Major. So building and designing projects will be my job. Not to mention it was just fun and little bit of pride knowing I'm one of the few people have a functional hood scoop.



I think you did a good job on the scoop. It is WAY better than the fake stick on ones everyone is putting on their cars now. Some don't even bother to paint them.

Yours is functional. That makes it allright in my book.

That being said, it would match the lines of the Contour a little better if it were more curvy and less squared off. You could mold the side and rear onto the hood and make it look more like it belongs there.

Send me a photo of your car from the front with the scoop and I will show you what I mean. I tried to find one on your cardomain site, but no luck.
