I have been debating on whether or not to convert my factory WS6 hood into a cowl hood, which would mean sealing off the air inlet nostrils and opening up the back side to vent air in. For the winter time it would be beneficial to keep snow and salt from entering the engine bay, so I would need custom inserts that are removable for the spring and summer to reactivate the hood. Since I am using a somewhat restrictive air box with an equally restrictive paper air filter, the added airflow will be a benefit, so I am going to keep the ram-air hood functionality but it does need modification for the LS1 air box I am now using.

The smooth wheel covers may look neat on my car, although I have been trying to imagine what baby moon wheel/hubs would look like as well on my car, lol. Probably not too good but definitely giving a vintage homage look with marginal wheel streamlining.
