Vented hood thread

DIGItonium · 07-25-2013, 02:35 PM

I'm pretty happy with the results. It's definitely better than nothing, and it doesn't look too ricey either. I still prefer this over a CF hood, unless it's a true composite (super crazy expensive). My car is stuck in the garage to let the paint fully cure before getting the rock guard installed. I'll keep you guys posted once the car is back on the road.

That finished hood looks absolutey excellent! Surprising after I saw the way it arrived to you. Looks like it'll be very functional unlike the hoods where the vents are out at the sides, instead of the middle where they would extract hot air after the radiator.

Yup. I pulled it apart to check the fuse behind the unit and the power connections. I've got +12V, IGN, and fuse is fine. Unit still dead with no blinky red light. The shop says this stuff is over their head and they want me to get a professional opinion from a car audio shop to prove that interior cleaning damaged the unit.

Guess being a Computer/Electrical engineer isn't enough to convince them. :P

Just installed this 2 weeks ago. Absolutely love it! You can feel the heat pouring out of the car when it's stopped. It probably helps my CAI's the most from heat soak. Beyond that it looks bad *** IMHO

Looks sweet man! You should add some more black to the mix, door handles, mirrors and maybe the rear wing to balance it out.
