Any interest in "Drop-in" vents for stock hood?
I am very interested in a CF set, with my Stillen s/c temps under the hood get ridiculously hot and since I don't have very many hood options im screwed as far as vents go. Let me know when you have the final product ready or if you need a test car I would be more then happy to volunteer. Thanks!

definately. let me know the clearance issues you have for your supercharger, these vents will go on the sides of the hood, behind the radiator, about inline with the head lights..

prototype is in production, and mold making is after that.
still waiting from the shop on the first word of when they'll be ready.
then test fit on my donor hood, and then we'll see
thanks for hanging in there.

IMHO- i think you'll have to worry about traction issues rather than getting your engine wet. besides. when does the Z owner take out their car in heavy rain, especially in So Cal?
