KITT's Engine Hood sometimes looks AJAR
Is it my imagination or does KITT's engine hood look like it is slightly ajar, not closed down tight. On several close up shots of KITT, his scanner slot opening sometimes makes his hood look slightly cracked open, especially around the headlights where it is really evident.
I don't need no "Wizard Of Oz Car" putting me behind the 8 ball, for nothing. LOL (The Rev)
All they did was blow away a "Ringmaster", they didn't even steal any hamburgers. LOL (Michael)

Nope, you're not imagining that. KITT's hood would be open because they had a device that would shoot out sparks from under the hood (like when KITT was getting shot at- the sparks from the bullets bouncing off him).
Other times it was probably left open from filming another scene before the non-action scenes where KITT's hood is ajar.

when they did scenes where Kitt had to crash through walls and stuff like that they would put a protective shell so that's why Kitt sometimes looks a little bit "buff" and the hood appeared to be open.

Re: KITT's Engine Hood sometimes looks AJAR
Along with the explanations already given in this thread, the nose itself was different in seasons 1-3. The nose was molded in such a way that it sort of "dipped" down toward the center, leaving a slight bit of space between the hood and the nose. This was corrected with the Season 4 nose, as well as the removal of the turn signal blackouts and indents, where the shape of the nose perfectly matched the lines of the original Trans Am.KNIGHT RAIDER wrote:Is it my imagination or does KITT's engine hood look like it is slightly ajar, not closed down tight.
