Shine is your best bet.

There are plenty of vented hoods for the fc, I suppose it depends on how much you want to pay, and if it is for a particular function (V-mount ect)

I like the Tamon design hood, but r-magic, knight sports, Re-A and feed all have awesome ones. But they are all reasonably hard to track down.

You could allways vent the stock hood, i have seen that done quite well a few times

this thread was brought up about a month ago. Check www.aerokits.net for vented hoods.

I don't think ShineAutoProject has their website up yet so you're better off checking out their Ebay vendor page.

You should search before posting next time otherwise I'll get another warning.

bwaaahahahaahahahaa (couldn't find anymore smileys) - Is this in reference to the fuel pump rewire thread where you told someone to search, called them lazy then provided them with the answers they needed before your post got moedited?

lol, I'm not getting into that. I wouldn't want the rest of my posts to be deleted even though i'm the only one PROVIDING LINKS.

You trying to get me in more trouble?

It's the end of the day. I'm off. See you all Monday (unless I get into trouble over my posts this week and find myself locked out).


remember kids, there aren't stupid Questions. Just stupid people who don't search for their own answers.


EDIT: Don't get pissed at that last line^^^^^^^^^^ You all know it's true.

I wonder how much drag, if any, these hoods would create at highway speeds.

^^^I doubt its significant enough to be taken into consideration especially when compared with the cooling/heat expulsion benefits.
