Thumbs up HD hood on sierra Yup, but I might add a touch ???

So I finally decided to get my **** in gear and figure out what I wanted to do on the HD I cut last summer for the ole sierra. I started to finish up the underside, as well as fix a few dings in the hood. We were all in the garage tonite BS'n, tilting some cold ones and my dad mentioned something about some vents or something to put it over the top, this is what we figured, sketched up. I like it myself, might play well with my flat/gloss deal. What you all think? Not sure what is going to go in the holes once they are cut, but will figure it out if I do it. It is growing on me, will be a 1 off custom deal, not just another HD on a sierra. I think it looks tuff.

So far is the first one, then what some gloss looks like. I am def leaning towards doing it. May take some time, but F it some beers, a few hours it can be a one off deal

The vents will def go into, under the hood. Not to concerned of the actual functionality of them at this point, just going for that look.

You gonna roll the lips at all? What about a mesh screen?
I can't tell just yet but I'm a bit hesitant about it right now.

Ive always wanted to see an HD hood with a cowl... All the cowl induction hoods you see for the HD trucks are the same ones as the regular 1500 hoods.

What does the rear of the HD hood look like? Could you also cut some vents in the rear for full heat extraction functionality? I think the front vents would look pretty cool if done with rolled edges and grilles to match the main front grille.
