| something I've thought about. It would be so hard to cut into the Rivs beautiful aluminum hood.That would be the only way to make it look right.Using a peel -n- stick is kinda hokey.I bet a Shelby AC Cobra hood would fit pretty good.Its long,that would span the length of the Rivi hood,and wide.The wide round lines of the Riv hood ,make fitting a hood pretty touchy.But if you work in a body shop and have a spare hood to mess with..go for it! | |

| Don't. It's too boy racer, doesn't fit the Riv at all. | |

That.  Cowl hoods go on muscle cars only. See how it doesn't work here?

|  Nice car / hood,butt that's not muscle to me, anyway!!! As for you kid, do whatever you like to make her yours.Hood sounds great,check out the back of the Riv, with the bottom piece added.Calendar picture,i forget what month it is? You'll fined it!!!  Maybe, give you something for the back too? | |

|  Just messing with Omni Graffle! These would look good recessed into the hood and not on top. IMHO! | |

I had a Dodge Lancer that had a louver over the turbocharger for airflow/cooling - worked great. They have a baffle underneath to direct water away from the engine. Problem kind of is the Riv's hood is aluminum and most of the add-on functional louvers I've seen are priced silly and don't look like they will fit well -- they are flat and Riv's hood is not. | |

| I'd do something like the Supercharged Jag:   Could be adapted to fit very will with the riv's styling. _________________  | |

| Those Jag vents would look just great on the Riv.  I would stay away from the big hood cowl if it were me. | |
