Supra style hood cut-outs?
Okay, not tooutrage anyone 
with the mention of the MKIV but I need to know if anyone has done this or has any pics of these symmetrical hood cut-outs to dissipate heat, thus converting out easy-bake ovens into a viable engine compartment. I have talked to a few people that have added louvers but I am not too keen on the bubbly looking hood and my car is black, so I figure if I added some cut-outs and put a fairly dense screen over it it would be moderately hard to notice.
Thanks

I am actually looking for pics of it done to an FD. I am assuming if you dont have any pics Tpc no one does, BUT feel free to prove me wrong! 
RyanREX: the pic you posted is not working for me.

Oh yeah and nocab, I was actually looking into modifying the stock hood to save cash and achieve the same affect. I am not too into the crazy non-stock looking hoods, although there are a few that remain somewhat tasteful.
Rex your definately right, i have no pics of this probably cuz its never been done. im not sure how it would look exactly though but i was just thinking.......would an y of you classify this as rice. becuase int he past cars that have parts from differnent cars and all that were called rice. like if you saw an integra with a TRD hood...what would you say?

Im not sure about the rice thing. If I put Efini badges on my 7 is it rice? I mean its not efini because im not in Japan... As far as putting something on a stock hood to get more cool air in my oven, I mean engine compartment, I dont think its rice... just inovative...

I cut a big hole and grated it up on my TII. It kinda looks like the 02 WRX WRC. It is very helpful with cooling, especially at high speeds. I also vented a hood. Look on 240sx.org thats where I got the idea. For some fiberglass and time youll get an asome hood. Drift style. Anyway function over form for me, depends on you I guess.
