Default Euro hood

So I just stumbled across a new hood that was released from b-magic called the euro hood. Just thought I'd post up a link for everyone to check it out. I kinda like it, I think with the fiveaxis lip kit it'll look mean.

^^ that effect is a combination of the eyelids and the bumper applique.....plain hood would look much different...
at least it's refreshing to see that companies are making more and more aftermarket products for our cars....ugly or not!

I personally think our head lights are pretty agressive looking as is and the eyelid adds very little effect... The overlay does help the hood on the silver, but i have a BSP so the hood alone would make it look real mean...

That actually looks like a pretty decent hood. I give it a thumbs up on it.

Yeah I hear ya on that, makes the car look angry. I just really like the fact they used some of the cars lines and flowed it all together. Most the other hoods/body kits are all styled the same just adapted to the specific car. I really want to see this with the 5axis since this drops in the middle and the 5 axis lip rises in the middle. Might look cool all done up like that one guys ride with the wide black stripe down the center spanning the whole car.

Its badass! If I got it I'd probably paint it but I love the indent. Probably helps some with aerodynamics too! Not so boxy.

yep thats why people like the xbs because its boxy. after seeing this hood now i'm thinkin this or the sc version.
also this hood seems more like the rumion w/a deeper indent to it

its also not euro because it was based off of the Rumion's hood.. European hoods dont go straight back they get bigger the further back you go into the hood and the and it doesnt dip downwards its taller in the middle.. like mercedes, bmw, alpha romeo, peugot, and aston martin to name a few.. but failed in an attempt to get the lines correct and flow with the body from the windshield to the bumper around the grill. it also has clashing lines on the hood which take away from the feel of a smooth transition.. its flat on front where it needs to have the grooves continue to fit with the bumper, the straight lines are most visible in the front-most top of the hood and it fades and stops abruptly when it hits the u shape of the original scion hood design.. too clashed up to even look too decent.. my two cents
