Hood design ideas?, ideas and exampes welcome Options

Hi,

After 7A-FE swap to 3-SGTE there are some difficulties with hood. Now there are 3 points where engine touches hood or distance is very minimal. So, there are two solutions:
1. Put GT-4 hood
2. Make custom hood using the one what I have.

This should solve 2 problems:
1. Increase distance between engine and hood at certain points
2. Increase engine ventilation.

I wonder to go for custom hood and would like to ask you some help. Maybe you have some photos and can post it here with nice 6gc custom hoods? Need some ideas how to make it.

Here is mine celica:

The following link is a cracking example, which in my opinion looks quite stock...you just follow the lines of the bracing underneath the top skin bonnet/hood:

I bought myself a second hand bonnet from Ebay to see if I can do it.

Looks good but this wouldn't solve all problems. I think to try GT4 hood.
