thinking of cutting the hood ala mitsubishi evo style. the hole will be cut just after the radiator and before the altenator.

what you think?

 

[firescout211]

for what?

 

[Casper]

heat dissipation and cosmetic styling.

 

[twin turbo 281]

not to mention water in the engine compartment lol

id go with somthing that isnt stock on another car

I did something similar with my old hood when I 'glassed a hood scoop on it. Only thing it did was get the engine bay all kinds of messy.

:thumbsd: IMO it'd be somewhat tacky. Too "euro". for our cars.. I wanna see someone do a shaker hood scoupe...That'd be so friggin' sexy.

 

[KrAzyT]

i asked that a few years go and got bashed by pretty much everyone

 

[Stinkfist04]

asked about a shaker hood? If I didn't have my glass hood I'd probably try it..

A shaker hood scoop may or may not be in the works right now.

I agree, I think a Shaker hood would look great. I just don't feel like going through the hassle right now. Perhaps once all the other mods are done and I have to actually LOOK for something else to do. Let me know how it goes Joel, and if you need help with it let me know. Not sure what I can do, but we could both learn at the same time.

I'd have to see a pic of the evo style you're talking about before I passed judgement.

here's ur bloody heat exchangers buddy of mine's "rally" car to count the frat boys with the evo's running around ames. he's got 1000 bucks into everything (original purchase, new motor, new trans)

 

[Casper]

sweet...

 

[coggonobrien]

this is just his winter beater, he has a formula firebird making around 400hp and getting 20mpg and a nissan truck with a carbed buick 3.8

If you are going to do that just take the hood off and leave it off it might look better. that's my opinion though

 

[_95badbird]

I say cut a hole in it.....



I did.

 

[392Bird]

Just as long as you think it out good first, you will be fine. I was worried about mine also.

Note: That is a brand new $450 hood that I cut that hole in.

Yeah you got a good reason for the whole. With his it's to help cool it and cosmetics. Cosmetically I think it would look bad. There's better ways to do that.
