Since I don't have my ls right now I have been trying to utilize the time I have to get a lot of things done with my wagon, I saw this thread on honda tech a few weeks ago of a guy doing the same thing with his S2000 .
thinking about doing this i still have my wrecked white hood i think ill cut out covers to put over holes during rainy season or make something out of plastic like the tail light materialsThought it was a Good idea for my wagon since I've noticed my engine bay is always really hot and considering the hoods natural slope I think it would be even more beneficial to put a vent right next to my intake to make a pseudo ram air intake (that will be described later after I put the finishing touches on this current project.
went to harbor frieght and got the body saw for 35$ I plan on returning after I'm done with the job
and I already have a drill I used a bit that was just big enough to stick my saw blade in


Taped off the area and used a marker to give a visual guide in the shape I want


drilled holes



did a whatever don't give af cut job because it's a old wrecked hood I kept for a reason after all small bit of advice when making cuts is to do all cuts one way , one time



i did the first one on the wrecked hood for 2 reasons
1. Practice
2. I plan on fabbing up some sort of bracket to cover the hole I will make in the other hood for poor weather conditions , I'll put a weather foam seal on the underside to guarantee water protection and prevent damage to the new hood .
i started late and I don't feel like being a dick to my neighbors making noise so I stopped there and started a template for the cuts on the new hood

im thinking since the way I did the first cuts left a really messy look I will cut a smaller but same shape diameter vent shape and make them bigger by grinding and sanding to the perfect size.

nothin better than a good IPA
