Oh boy... I'm just curious here... no flames please

 

Its suppose to add air into the engine bay. Imo i would never do this cuz if you get into a car accident your head could be sliced off since the hood goes through glass like cake.

 

i dont have it done to my car yet...but my stock hood touches my valve cover...im going to do it soon

it's supposed to add air into the engine bay, by letting it escape easier out the back?

Old school cowl induction trick, as you're idling, hot air is let out from the opening created at the base of the winshield. As you start driving, air either goes through the front and exits the rear or it gets sucked in from that opening, one of those, I can't remember exactly.

Add air? Try heat extraction.

 

my buddy has the hood like that cause his motor hits the hood every time he punches it looks is just a plus

phew my pic wasnt used this time....

 

Yeah I heard it's a cooling thing. I would never do this for looks because it makes you car look like the hood doesn't fit.

 

I like it. If you don't think it works just go drive your car for a while and put your hand behind your hood. **** tons of hot air comes out. heat rises. I also happen to think it looks good.
