Vented hood

Step 1: Measure and tape **** off
Step 2: Cut a huge fawking hole.
Step 3: Tape the vent in.
Step 4: Drill some made JDM holes
Step 4: Rivet that USDM crawl space vent cover in for that MAD JHAY DEE EMM EVO STYLZZ!!!

It's kinda rice and hella ghey, but it works wonders. With the way I have my radiator positioned when the fan is on it blows hot air right out the vent!

Last pic is at the autoX last weekend.

Hope you guys and gals like it.

Painted black people wont hardly notice it. My other thought is I hope you use rain-x on your windshield in case the radiator pops. ( no harm is intended or implied by the second thought)

It's a crawl space vent available from anywhere that sells stuff for houses... I can't really see it frm the drivers seat, but when i was walking around the car it sure does reflect the sun well. Gotta be annoying for other drivers. >)

Painted it black. looks much better now. Water temps didn't change much at all 185* intraffic 80* ambiant air. temps are about 5* lower now.. The main goal was to lower underhood temps so the carb gets cooler air.
