I thought the same thing looking at my hood, people are going to think I copied the idea off an SRT Hellcat...but mine' been around since 2012.
Oh, and just for the record, when I first saw the Hellcat my thought was...oh look they copied Michaels wheels of his 68' Barracuda. True Story.

Well, in 2012 I was considering having the body shop take my stock hood, where the '68 'Cuda hood goes up in the middle keep going up the 3+" to clear the air cleaner and make the center look like a AAR type hood, then put deep heat extractors on each side. The idea was to do it all in metal. If the AAR scoop did not clear that is the direction I wanted to go. Extractors would be deep similar to the Mustang hood in this picture, but offset to basically be centered between the AAR scoop and the side: http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/1830/paulshood2medium.jpg

Imagine how similar that would look to a Challenger Hellcat hood, then add the wheels... I would have been a bit aggravated to say the least. My concept is a lot more aggressive than the Challenger hood, but similar. I still reserve the right to make that hood, it is still a cool idea.

Weren't you also considering heat extractors?
