May I ask how you did that? It kinda looks like you took some vents from the roofing isle in Lowe's and welded them to the hood...

Whats with the masking tape and paint under the hood?

No there are stamped into the stock hood with a press. The tape if I'm not mistaken is to help line it up on the press.

I've seen this hood in person and trust me these pics do not do it justice. Painted to match the car this hood would look sic!

You guys with the SC's are always looking for ways to get heat out of the engine compartment well here ya go! How much heat do you spose those vents can let out? I'd venture to guess more then your engines can produce!

But at the expense of what??

I bet a lot of rain, dirt, mud, leaves, or pretty much anything in the world that falls down right there will get in the engine compartment!

You do have a point. This hood is best on a car that has access to a garage. But then if you look at the extractor hood you could say the same things.

No water issues with this one and acts as a great heat extractor.

Since he removed most of the bracing from the hood, it is not very structurally sound either. has to be very flimsy. I know a lot of people don't like the route I went either, but I can at least appreciate the amount of workmanship involved in making something like that.

If I lived in PA, I'd be interested. Also I think it looks sweet, and good job on your hard work in making it.
