So unsurprisingly, I'm having radiant heat/heat soak issues especially when the car is pushed hard and I'm looking at more engine bay venting before I look into a bigger oil cooler/radiator/other cooling options whatever. I already have the vented fender liner from GTM so a hood scoop would be a nice way to get some air circulation going.
Thing is, I'm not crazy about the vented hood options I've seen posted here (carbon signal, seibon etc). I really don't like those diagonal vents as it kinda ruins the lines of the car - no offense intended, just my opinion.
I ran across this on my facebook feed (not my car):
...and it turns out this is a non-functional scoop - ugh. Is there a hood that looks like this or the old 350z vented hood style? I've been told modifying the stock hood (even with a fantastic metalworker) is a bad idea for several reasons.
Any ideas? |
I wouldn't do a scoop only because I think a vent is better. Instead on bringing in ambient temps into the engine bay, I'd want the heat to get out of the engine bay faster/better.
