Crooked Hood?

Chan Chee Hoe · 05-28-2009, 06:21 AM

Just a little comments on the Aluminium hood & doors,after half an hour of city driving ,the surface of the hood is very hot to touch,if rain fall,steam will come out,hence paint easily damage,& the doors is so thin,it felt like Coca Cola cans.!

When you're done working under the hood, just hold it about a foot or two above closed and drop it. It snaps into place perfectly, avoids you smashing on the upper painted surface with your grimy hands, and lets the car know who's boss

thats nothing, my father has an NSX-T, the targa top stores above the engine and is insulated but aluminum conducts heat so well that you have to use "mechanix" heat resistant gloves to touch the top to reinstall it after driving. Found out the hard way!
