a lot of these hoods are coming out nice, but i have to agree, hopefully it functions well.

I agree, i was always curious to see the new designes, and now the thread is 2 pages when it was like 7.

Echo... Very nice, as always.

Also, Ryan K. the yellow fogs look awesome

Not my car, just a random one I stole a shot of.

But thanks.

Fully functional ...

There were three pics I posted up with 2 versions.

The functionality was that the vent near the driver side headlight was to flow more air for an airbox, short ram, and could for a CAI.

The rear vents are so that the heat from the engine bay can escape quicker thus keeping a cooler engine.

Also, because it is a simple design, the cost of producing it shouldn't be much at all thus making the hood more affordable for the consumer.

Version 1 (vent flush with edge of hood)

Version 2 (front vent moved up a little)

Version 1 with eyelids

Of course, this can still be varried for the concern of the rain. But then again, there's a lot of hoods out there on the market that have this problem as well.

Lol ... I just noticed ryank used my car .. I feel special.

cali yaris · 10-22-2008, 01:50 PM

you ARE special!

I'm tempted to take an OEM carbon fiber hood and just Dremel it to Treyz' specs

Treyz · 10-22-2008, 01:57 PM

Unless I do it to my OEM carbon hood first, Garm, lol!

It just doesn't seem like it would force all that much air in. If I'm going to spend hundreds on a hood, I want to know it is going to FUNNEL air in by looking at it!
