actually, I like!

subtle, well-placed, functional

well done :D

I like this... I WANT this.... +1

Hmm.... on the fence about the looks of this... The S2K's version is better though.

Niceeee!!!!!

did u guys manage to take pictures i wanna see step by step

Nice! I was curious, is the hood more for looks or is it functional?

Flows very well with the car, great job :)

This actually does look really nice. Not sure if you posted a DIY but what kind of mesh did you use?

Looks nice. It looks a little inboard of the ideal, but it's close enough and you've got those ridges in the hood to work around (as well as the bracing on the underside), and any heat sucked out of the engine bay will ultimately help.

There's no way I would be able to do a clean job of this myself though, and no way I'm making a roadtrip to NJ for it :)

heres a dumb question, but what happens with water? when it rains I always have these two little piles of water that move up the hood towards the windshield. seems like it would just dump down in there.

Looks good, just not my taste, but well done.

Thanks for the comments guys! I will try to answer all your questions.

We did take lots of pics of the process and I will post them up later today with step by step instructions.

We designed more for function. The look is just a pleasant by product :) Once the car was heated up to normal operating temp you could actually see the heat rising from the hood. As far as how much of a drop I would have to measure the under hood temp. Keep in mind the heat only rises when the car is at slow speeds or at a stop. In simple terms, once you reach a certain speed the airflow over the hood essentially seals of the vents. I was stuck in traffic for 2 hours in NY on the way back home and bay temps never went above 210F. Again I need to collect hard data.

To be honest with you IDK but I will find out.

Yes the ridges presented a little bit of a problem. We designed it over the exhaust manifolds and have the outside edges flow with the ridges. As for the bracing, we cut straight through them so the engine bay is exposed. It wasn't hard but just required a little finesse.

There's no such thing as a dumb question :D Everything in the engine compartment is sealed. No exposed wires or anything that might be affected by the water. I had the same mesh in my S2000 and I never had any problems for the 2 years that I had it.

I like it! Looks great!!

Looks good, I hope it works.

Damn that looks great, OEM look. Might get the balls to do this at some point. Def need a DIY on this!

Hey that looks pretty good. Almost perfect in my mind. Could you do some better pictures for us please? From the other side of the hood if possible too.
