Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread

So I began a search for a low profile, 2" or less, cowl type scoop to graft on. Lots of fiberglass or plastic stuff out there but I wanted metal and it needed to be at least 28" wide and 47" long to "sort of" match the width & length of the Dusters bulge front to back. After a while I found this AMD unit 28"W x 53.75"L x 2.25"H in steel. Best online price I could find was $153 shipped. It took me a long time to decide to buy it hoping I could come up with something different and less polarizing but in the end it's my car and I'm the one who has to pay the $ and live with it. Here are a few different angles of it on the car. I want the curve of the scoop to come off the flat on the nose so it will sit further forward than on the Aspen hood and the rear will have to be trimmed appropriately to clear when the hood is opened. And it will be functional or I wouldn't even bother with it.

I know it kind of looks like a wart on the snout of a pig right now but imagine the hood and cowl area in front of the windshield in black.
