Looks, good.

Just Curious, why didn't you do this on the other side??

That's where all the heat builds up from the header...

I plan on running a set of ITB's, and ducting them to the vents in the hood. I ran multiple designs thru my head and on my computer, and decided just before I started cutting that I really liked the look of the 2 holes on the driver's side best (plus of the few that have done this, no one is running this configuration yet).

Looks good. But i'd like one more on the same side at the front, a bit larger..

Speaking of Vented hoods, and all of that, has anyone ever tried to do what the Lotus does (I think this is how it works).. Basically, the radiator is slanted back, and the hood is vented so the air essentially passes over the radiator, then out hood, offering some down force.. What's everyone's thoughts on this, stupid idea, wishful thinking?

thanks,

eric

I won't do it to anyone else's hood, but I will come and help if you decide to do it. There is no water channeling inside, there doesn't really need to be. Nothing vital is directly under those holes. It doesn't matter anyway, whenever you drive in the rain, so much water gets into the engine bay from the updraft under the car anyway...
