yea I agree, don't change it because of the stock airbox that almost no one has.

Yup, someone with a stock airbox would have no interest in the vented hood. if he can't spend 30 bucks on a decent filter, he deffinately won't shell out the doe for this hood. Start production!

Hmmm, the verdict does seem slanted to leave it as is Manntis.

It sure looked good on the car the way it is now.

Guys, we're not talking a huge change, Just re-angling the base of the vent. This will make it clear more types of strut tower bars as well.



As you can see, the vent outline at the hood level stays the same and in the same position. By angling the base of the opening back we're actually enlarging it (greater air outlet) while making the fit of the hood more universal.

I'd say that clearing strut tower bars would be pretty important. My GSL-SE agrees though we could care less about fitting around a stock air box. Since that will put me out of C Street Prepared I may as well slap a turbo on it, right?
