The look is fun on Bronco and having a full panel will enhance the appearance of the "power bulge" that tells all people this has a sub-3 liter engine with ultimate power inside.

If there were corresponding vents in the actual hood to make these functional in any way that would be awesome!

For reference, what actual louvers look like: (and yes, totally pointless on a any car which doesn't have an enclosed engine bay, regardless of the beautiful flathead V8)

And a modern interpretation of vented metal panels: stick-on plastic

We have a metal press and dyes for louvering metal in our garage, I might try to mock some patch panels in that work with the frame of the Bronco hood just to give an idea of what would be possible using old-school techniques and no double-sided tape.

The only hood bulge I've ever just seen and had to have:

Kinda with you tho, if it doesn't serve some kind of purpose on the car, I'm not a big fan of it. Putting stuff on the hood that doesn't matter reminds me of the pseudo hood scoops on Tacomas and 4runners from a few years ago.

Itโ€™s got the door molding, hood molding and looks to have additional wheel well moldings. Three strikes! Youโ€™re out!!!

If I put anything on the hood of my badlands it will be a decal like what's on the wildtrak.

Still the most original and functional power bulge ever known to man....

Iโ€™m starting to think that the people that design this crap weโ€™ve been seeing and the ones that actually buy it or thinks it cool must be the same people that thought curb feelers, stick-on portholes and wiper deflectors were cool back in the 90โ€™s as well.

This might help in reducing glare from the lights too!

Maybe a Torino hood scoop like my '72 Bronco had from the factory would fit. Non functional but sure looked cool. Also got lots of questions about the hood sight off a JD tractor that i put on it to cover a ding over the radiator.

I love all the bling, tape on plastics, let's you know a lot about who's in the car and where their priorities lie...

Is this functional? If not, thatโ€™s extremely cheesy. If it is functional, itโ€™s still tacky.
