Edit to add pic.
Lookin' good Robar! What hood are you using? Don't recall seeing that before... I like the "banded" appearance, sort of like a well-built barrell or something...

HA HA HA, I think that's a reflection of his garrage door.

That would be a cool hood though. No flapping in the wind at high speeds.

Nope. I fixed the hood bounce problem by turning it inside out.

Damn! That was my first thought, but the illusion is good enough that I thought it might be some heavy-duty cross-banded custom hood... that's next on your mod assignment list!

I dunno, from a large view, I think a mod like that would make the JK look like a a big hunk of metal...................but it would be tough tough.
