I like the center and lower sides. The upper sides look to high and oblong.

Extend the center upward (same width but above the hood line).
Sharpen the angle to the bottom (keep the bottom points where they are)
Maybe chop the height down a little on the wings and square them off to level with the top of the hood or above the lights.

Just my thoughts.

good idea BUT i think it would look better if you shortened up the outer round pieces

the pieces themself are square, but they are taped together and to the rig a little crooked. I dont have a welder at my house so duct tape has to do for tonight
