Good pic on the clear hood.
I was at a meet awhile back and one guy had a perforated stainless hood.
He said it was only one of three in the country. Had all the normal contours
of the stock hood and was strong enough that it needed no braces under it.

He had gone further and put lights under it. Looked really sharp.
I'm sure someone would call him a ricer, but I think people who modify and
customize their ride are pretty cool.-Bob

Kabron,
Another reason not to go hoodless is that when you come out of the mall,
your engine could be missing a few things and there might be a trail of
rubber burn marks leading to the nearest exit..... LOL
