modified hoods for an fc?

where the heck can i find something like this? id like to know there are options if i get a front mount. a couple of people have mentioned that the front intake scoop is useless for letting heat out when you go to a fmic. makes sence to me.. any websites? i had ideas to take a n/a hood and configure these(pics) vents to suck air out... but other than that i cant find **** for the fc.





take something like this and flush mount it.. if its already done, that would be nice

modifying your hood to accept any of those vents would be an even stupider idea then my hacking up the front bumper on my 10ae...
well.. a close second....

Ya i've always wanted a reverse hood scoop type hood. Not so much for the looks (looks outlandish as hell if u ask me) but just so all that hot air being blown through the radiator has somewhere else to go other than towards my already hot engine.

I think by 'reverse hood scoop' you mean 'vent'

actually if you want to get technical its a cowl hood.. for the reverse type that comes out at windshield. i think that would prolly be the best considering it would move the air efficantly and could be made, well, not very noticable. im sure you'd prolly only need 1 - 1.5 inch to make it effective.

i think i should have searched a little more before i asked... i found the mother load in the search..
