saw this on an SRT.

"Perforated Hood"

very interesting. Cant get much better airflow than that.
I love the "ghosted" look you get of the engine.

 

thats awesome! i wish they made something like that for us...

 

thats sick **** right here

 

holy damn thats sweet!
wonder what would happen when it rains...?

 

Something about that looks photoshopped to me.

 

I can't see it very good?

 

Its see thru lexan not a huge hole! They have em for Honda's too. They're pretty cool but not my taste.

 

I'd buy one.

 

I think that would look more interesting with a more exotic color scheme....and god forbid a rock pops up from the road and hits that hood

 

so your calling bs on the hood?

 

definitely photoshop

 

Thats a Real hood

 

I didn't call BS, I just said it "looks" photoshopped. I have seen it on many other cars before, but something about that looked fake to me.

 

I bet it kills the aerodynamics of the car too

 

you should get us one for the cobalt

 

haha those of you callin bs look like idiots.

these are a hood sold for the SRT4 quite a few people have them. and 2 local guys are buying them right now.

and they arent the see through lexan one. they are perforated metal, IE Airflow.

 

Dude, that effect has been used over and over again in photoshop, so its hard to believe that hood is real.

I did some searching and found that perforated hoods are real, but was only able to come across these pics, which are nowhere near as see-through as the original pics:




My call: see-through perforated hoods are real, but the top pics are fake.

Even if I look like an idiot to anamolous. :P

By the way the hood is $750 @ griptuning.com

 

so my first pic looks EXACTLY like your second one....

but mine are fake....
look theres even a fake guy standin there with a beer in his hand too!

and its totally fake that it looks like its done in some dudes driveway.
It was actually done in a blue screen studio!!!!


ohhhhhh kay then.

 

That would be cool if it was the same color as the car. But like some one else said, what about rain/snow?

 

exactly? jk

Dont get all bothered by it. Maybe I'm wrong. It's no big deal. lol

By the way what swayed me was the amount of moire in the pics from griptuning, and the lack thereof in the pics of the silver car. BUT!! I'm dropping this already. lol

 

ya its made by grip tuning, its perferated not lexan, and none of the pics are fake.,.... since its perferations it looks more transperent at some angles than others

 

it looks pretty sick IMO. don't know if i would ever buy one, and they're probably pretty hard to find (and make!).

i don't know how much it would kill aerodynamics, because you've still got a (semi) solid surface over the engine, so part of the air will form an air layer within the mesh, while the rest of the air flows over that. and you get the added benefit of great cooling, plus all the built up air pressure that's usually under the hood gets vented out the top!

 

you'de think that it would dent pretty easy... if you took it to a show and had a model there would be ass indents all over the hood

 

those are called 'battle scars' and the car should wear them proudly.

 

That's pretty sweet. I wish they made something like that for our Cobalts.
