What does anyone think about having a bonnet scoop made from smoked Lexan?

I imagine it would be relatively easy to make - just a couple of bends, with the front open for air entry, and would look different, anyway!

Only problem I can think of is heat - would it melt?

Doubt it,

I'm sure I read that Nitro powered remote control car body shells are made of Lexan
and they get pretty hot with air cooled engines in them.

should be ok. people vac form with it. I made a vac form bench at home. Just heat the plastic in the oven and use a got shop vac. great fun.

vac form benches are pretty cool, i used on in my electronics gcse. they produce plastic items by heating up the plastic til its able to form around a plug that has been made in the shape u want to have. we used wood.

the plastic is pulled around the former by a vacuum supply. til its cooled and hardened.

hope that makes sense, am sure someone will do a better job if it doesn't!
