Default bonnet a.k.a HOOD ,cooling

this is a drag technique i guess,its when you put nuts in between the 4nuts and the bonnet,thus making the bonnet stick up at the back,and then you remove the rubber seal at back of engine bay,the idea is to let hot air be sucked out(when racing) and when waiting between dragsmlet hot air get out,its also ment to keep ya times more constant. Whats peoples comments on this?????? this is going to be foe a gen4 prelude,im also thinking of moving the license plate to make it more aerodynamic??

FYI-in the states the "bonnet" is called the hood. Many people here have no idea what you are talking about. As far as the technique that you are asking about, I could not tell you if it works or not. Perhaps you could monitor underhood temps with and without the mod to see what works best.
