Carbon signal makes hood inserts like that

The style that we are talking about?

They used to, anyway. Last I heard they stopped. But yes, insert and fill is the easiest way. Doing it without filler is the expensive way.

Yes, CS still makes the insert, I think they actually have 2 designs now. a V1 & V2.

I don't see them listed on their website anywhere.

Can't say enough about mine and it actually lowered the air intake temps by 10% after much logging..

kinda new here..and didnt read all the pages but how about like the LFA with "A horizontal hood gap also feeds air to the engine and add 2 little rear vents if needed to release the air trapt under the hood.

That car had a lot of wind tunnel testing to make that work. Here, my guess would be you'd be packing air under the hood but bypassing the radiator.

Custom hood vents

1slow370 · 11-25-2013, 02:54 PM

from measuring the picture and the stock hood it should be just behind the core support If i get it down the road i would probably put a different coolant reservoir on it to open up the airflow

I designed a hood a while ago... center vents.. works real nice.. Spohn also made on, looks super badass too
