Have some mirrors cut and attach them with Velcro.
Use only when showing car, then remove them and store them when driving.

Do'nt know if the spelling is right but a lot of people use Lexan. I have'nt asked how they fasten it but I have seen velcro used in one case. Rich.

Mirors look better than the lexan does. Get some real thin mirrors that are light. Use velcro strips to attatch it. Take them off when car is being driven. THeir is a guy here in down that will take a peice of viynel and sew on or paint on what ever you want. Then you just use snaps to attach it. Have also seen a sheet of aluminum used over the hole hood. With what ever you want on it painted on. Then you use rivits. Get them in suport braces under the hood so they wont come through. This also looks good and it is what we did with my friends s10 show truck. Turned out real nice with the brushed aluminum look.
