Looks good!
But... :lol:
The header panel on 78-88 cars is flat in the middle, you guys should consider getting rid of that "Chevy" style ridge in the middle of the hoods on the 78-80 and 81-88, it doesn't look right and does not flow with the lines of the car.

Did you guys get rid of the hump at the rear of the hood on the 81-88's yet?

Chevy style cowl hoods look terrible on Cutlasses and it's beause of that damn ridge in the middle, sorry guys but I shake my head when I see a cowl hood on a Cutlass :?
It just looks terrible to me and I'm sure there are others that agree...

Gotcha didnt notice how flat it actually is and the hood too :wink:

We did take your suggestion about the angle of the scoops.
We'll let the finished product speak for itself, We'll have plenty of different installed photos to show real soon, its coming along really well

The scoop angles look 100x better than the offerings for the '81-'88 Cutlass. Nice.
