Kayvan, not many people know me around here.. I'm more of a lurker and work too much to make it out to the meets.
But, if you have the tools.. or if we can find people with the tools.. and the space to do it. I'd be glad to help you set this up.
Anyways, let me know.. also if you have the tools and space to do so, speak up!

Alright ladies and gents, I finally got some time to post pictures of my vented hood. I have to give all the credit to GEARHEAD. If he never created a thread for the DIY vent hood, I would have never done it. Here is his thread...
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...&hl=vented&st=0
I took a lot of GEARHEAD's methods and ideas, but I did some things different such as lining the cuts in the hood with a rubber lining and I used aluminum caulking instead of a double sided tape. I vented the hood for track use, so I did not care if it turned out looking bad, but I was pleasantly surprised how well it turned out. Definately, if I were to do this again, I could do a much better job. Anyways here are the pics...
Let me know if anyone has any questions or needed help.

Very nice and clean looking.
I'm getting more and more motivated to "frankenstein" my hood.
