Looks rice on your car, but if you did that kind of work to an RX7 hood or something, I think it would be really cool.

What kind of tool are you using to cut? Plasma?

Sorry about that, Im still new to the web design area. And that page isnt linked to so i didnt think it would be big deal. and as you can see with the hood, im poor so i have to make most things so i cant afford a webmaster

Thanks for all the fab compliments guys. I know again this isnt for everyone but IF anyone would want something done let me know. I have access to alot of differant hoods and I am always looking for a way to make a buck.

Well the idea was as stated by someone arlier to get air away from the motor, but i guess i could also incorp a intake vent as well. I would have to use a heater baffle to switch when its raining though

it really doesn't look that bad. might even be semi functional.. i dunno. someone needs to monitor under the hood temps with an oem hood vs that vented one.

not sure as far as function of that one goes.. but vents coudl be very functional and could help with heat.
