I thought about this hood design while on a 5 hr road trip to the in-laws, and drew it after getting back sometime in July. I haven't posted it as I was worried of someone taking the idea and claiming it for themselves, but it may already be out there which would make me look like the copycat hahaa. Anyway, hopefully this thread will give my idea some basis for initial invention date if and when it is copied.

So with that out of the way :icon_lol:
I liked the design of the mazdaspeed 3 hood and adaptd it to fit the supra's style. I am posting this to show my idea and also to see what the community thinks. I plan to hopefully create this hood someday, but for now it exists only on a page in my portfolio.
Enjoy!

looks pretty cool from the drawing... but a 3d model would give a better representation of what it would look like
nice work

I'm thinking of making a little model; I have some hard card that would probably work nicely. Thanks for the input! :)

Looks kinda like a Cobra R Mustang hood, but made to flow better with the cowl of our hood....Maybe??

Either way I like it.

That cobra hood looks almost exactly like what I was trying to create! I guess it's fairly common already hahaa. Well, i still like that look and hope to one day create it for the supra. I think it gives some extra braun to the fairly flat hood, but not so much that everyone will even notice. Only those familiar with the supra would see it right away.:biglaugh:
