    This is great my only complaint is that this just makes those gaps in the hood even worse and the hood feels too tall. I have no clue how to fix them myself so props for trying.

    I have seen a ton of moc vids of this skyline but in every one of them it turns into a muscle car
    The problem with this is that the car turns from 8 studs to 7 on the hood part bcuz of the 3 stripes so it becomes harder to change the fundamentals of it and most ppl just add flat pieces on top of the hood
    but imo the best way to fix the car is either to saw off the studs (lol) or cover the entire hood with a single large flat piece and use stickers to replace the blue stripes

    Nice video. I like your creativity to make the car better. Continue with your ideas! :)
    However i do not like that sad music in a lego video. I turned off the sound. XD I think that the gaps that appear in the hood makes the over-all impression for me worse than just keeping the original design. Your design has pros and cons, you know :p
    However, this is just my opinion and it is all a matter of thaste. Nothing is wrong or rightwhen dealing with creativity, i'd say. :)

    Incredible.
    Your work has refined the overall piece, and it looks spectacular.
    Impressive.
    I would also respectfully suggest
    Using 4 individual lego pieces that are smooth vertical bars about 4 studs long and they are a dark blue translusent colour.
    The ones used on the lego city police car that
    represent the blue light sirens.
    I would use those pieces and place them underneath the car where the 8 studs are running along both sides of the car between the wheels.
    I would place them there to replicate the dark neon blue light that emanates from underneath the car and can be seen from the sides in the movie on the real car.
