Alright.. well, as we all know, if you switch to an FMIC and leave the hood scoop from the TII hood vented, you can run into some airflow issues. I have personally encountered these, and have since then ghetto-rigged a block-off for the scoop.

Here's my question:
Aside from going to an N/A hood, or getting a completely new hood altogether, are there any options that would make the hood more functional for a car with a front-mount?

I did notice a drop in coolant temperatures (I used to get near 210F occasionally in the summer, now the car rarely surpasses 200--big difference for sure), but I always have wanted to try something different with the scoop.. has any one done any thing original or have any good suggestions?

I might just end up going to an N/A hood, but I think it'd be neat to pull a one-off design for a revision on the current scoop.

Thanks dudes.
