My scout opens in reverse, and yes it does get annoying sometimes but for the most part its not that bad. Whenever its in the way I usually just take it off. I have had a stock set up forward opening hood open on me doing about 70 on the highway, not cool at all . So yes it can happen just not very often.

You could make your mail slot "functional" if you did the reverse hood idea...

Don't the Hummer H1, H2, and H3 open that way too?
And the Kappa cars (Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky) as well?

OK Obviously the Corvette isnt the only car that is reverse mounted. you dont have to quote me every time you think of a car that has a reverse opening hood.
