Anyone know who makes a CF hood with a little raised round hole vent what is approx where a short ram intake filter would end, do u? Its hard to describe but I saw a guy with a hood like this on his eg a few months ago at the local track. (commerce, ga) it was white had GSR interior i believe....anyone know him?

Hey man, this is a technical board. This post should be in the appearance/cosmetic forum.

I think www.imoto.com has the hoods called TVS hoods that are CF. They are hella expensive.

HOLY **** those are expensive, but probably the badest *** hood i have ever seen. Damn i wish they made one for the EK and i had the money to buy one. I have some ideas for functional ram air boxes for that type of hood.

I understand there arent currently any made, but im positive that i could get one made. I have a few ideas brewing in my head that i think will work...unfortunately i dont have the 800 bucks to get that hood to try it. OH and ram air is not ****.... its actually a very good idea....think about it you can pull the coolest charge of all from air coming over the hood. These concepts have been in use for years. im sure it would not be good in the rain however

i think that drawing cold air has nothing to do with RAMAIR...

cold air helps.... but the ram air principe doesn't work at the speeds whe drive our honda's
