Something like the Grabber approach might work here though, with rounded scoops outboard of the lines running down the hood. A custom bodywork project is probably not what you were thinking about, but it would be unique -- and they don't all have to be functional if the styling really works for you.

A friend of mine had a 3 speed manual 6 banger Maverick, exhaust headers and maybe some minor stuff added. At the time I had a 69 383 Road Runner.
I never thought much of it until I first rode in it to go somewhere with him and that car surprised the hell out of me. That car had some impressive punch to it for a 6 banger. My jaw dropped a little. Don't get me wrong it wasn't a race car but it wasn't a slouch either.
