Definitely go for it... It would be interesting to find out how hard it would be to do though... Good luck!

Sounds like a pretty bad idea- tons of labor for what is, in my opinion; not a very cool result.

The SS hood would look great period. To make it open the other way it would need to open up and have hydraulic risers or something to push it up and away from the car since the front end is preatty full. In my opinion and what I would I would eventually want to do is put on an SS hood and the three piece RS spoiler... you should do that so I can see how it would turn out.

I hope you never plan on working on the engine, it would be damn near impossible with a hood like that. I'd put the money into makin the car faster.
