Thanks.

How hard is it to do? Have a few more ideas but don't want to waste your time.

And was curious what it might look like with the inlets right over the filters for max ram air, so maybe a few inches inward. And last what it'd look like to have the lower front lip black that so many do. Just thinkin...

Sorry. The brake inlets are the round things? And filter inlets are the one I put on? And you want these slightly more spread out? Did I get it right?

Sorry. Brakes are bottom. Yes filters are you, and I meant more inwards where the filters are like on a G3.

Got ya. Tomorrow night (maybe), but I'll get it done eventually.

Hmmm, what do you think? Looks better than before, specially with the brake ducts body colored. Might have to do a poll with several options.

Looking great! Ithe body-colored body vents look better to me than the black. I think it would look better if the angle on the outside edges of the upper vents was the same as the angle of the sides of the hood.

That's the way they are sold, I do believe.

Very gutsy move with the hood vent. Much props!

Sorry Synolimit, really not trying to

but thought I would give you a little peak of my poject

Besides as far as function, your vent is going to be very hard to beat, unless you remove the hood

More to come in the next month or so. I work slow, but I get it right

True, but but there is a plan in place under the hood to draft out the heat & it's still in the layout process

Edit, a better pic has been posted
