You can wash your engine, its not an issue. Not to mention the Vet, evo etc etc all have open hoods water gets in to.

Yep. I don't know why no one picked up on the design & manufacture them. It has good function & good looks

Well it's done, hood is vented . Sorry for the lousy pics

Are you planning on putting some mesh and/or ducting inside? Very ballsy, looks good! Should help vent the coffin-like engine compartment.

To time consuming and money. I'm to rough to do that and not cover it up.

Pretty ugly there

Reinventing the wheel!

Props for doing it yourself!

I'm going with the norm, nismo RS vents with a Aston Martin/BMW vent near the windshield...

Well lets hope air flow goes out and not in.

Pics of this setup? As the main topic on this subject, won't a back vent do more harm than good?

Ps I just saw a post from 2011 from you on that hood, what you waiting for?!

I did cut a hood and ruined it already! Next attempt is within my reach
