No reason you couldn't do both sides. We did this more for functionality than asthetics (but glad it looks cool too ) so we only did the side where all the heat is. I was originally only going to do the back two as well, but decided at the last minute to do all three.

Now, i could go and do the other side also. What are people's opinions on that? It wouldn't contribute a whole lot to cooling i don't think. Just from an athestics standpoint?
Wow, that looks sweet! I also don't think it would add much in the way of cooling, but it would make the hood appear more symmetrical for us more anal-obsessive types who are concerned about such things.

Now for the important question, do you guys have any interest in doing this job for other folks who don't have the tools (for a fee of course)? I've been looking at CF vented hoods, but my wife doesn't care for the look. She does like the looks of your work, though.

Honestly, no fee. I don't have any problems helping other members out if you can work w/ my schedule which can be kinda hectic sometimes. If you decide you want to do this sometime, shoot me a PM and we'll talk about it.

Thanks, that's a very generous offer! I insist on buying the food and beer. I'll send you a PM later today to work out the details and get a list from you for the stuff like paint, mesh, and any other supplies that I'll need to bring with me.
