Let's come up with a new hood design.
#104
Make this, in FRP, for $200ish, without headlight lids, and I will buy one tomorrow.
Mold it without headlights, but leave the little lines in. If someone wants headlights, they buy a scoop and stick it on their stock hood. If they want it molded in, they cut the headlight lids out and use it. If they want to **** tens, they run it with molded-in headlight lids and ditch their 6lb-per-side headlight buckets/motors.
That's the GV lid I've wanted all along. Why the hell hasn't someone knocked this off yet?!?
When a car is track only like Savington's the barn doors are useless. The lamps, motors and hardware is all dead weight to get rid of.
Looking at that write up at V8 roadster the guy did a good job with research. As he ended up doing, simply installing louvers at the lower pressure area like Aston and Jag is effective.

Sorry I have been away for a little from this. I just got married and things have been crazy with getting everything planned and then having to go out of town for business right afterward.
I have made some good progress on the hood, but it will still be a few weeks as things at work have picked up a little. I will post up some pictures this next week of what we get done. The scoop is in place, but now we just have to put the putty all around it to make it look good.

Sweet!!
Going on Sav's advice, I'm actually thinking you should make the master mold without headlight covers cut, but leave the lines in there. Offer for an extra 20$ or something to "finish" cut the headlight covers out for us with popups.
Actually considering an alternative solution and leaving the headlight covers ON the hood I order...
