Hi guys we r nearly there but i thought of mooding my hood mybe it takes some of the heat on the inside to the out side so here are the pics let me know what do u think.. sorry couldn't go backwords when i took the pic i dont know if u notice i am on a crain hight 1.5 m off the ground and on a thin edge.

 

lol it has whiskers

 

lol I like that heheheh

 

Nice work. Clean. Distinctive.

 

Instead of cutting out the metal completely it would have been cooler to bend the metal to make a small louver (sp?)... probably would be much more difficult though.

 

thought of that but it too hard is u mentiond coz welding the aleminume isn't going to be a clean job as it is now adding to that my perpous of those is to get heat out not realy interested in getting airflow in i think i have enought airflow... thanx for the pointing out though... regards..

 

I was suggesting louver's slanted toward the driver so that the air passing over them would draw more air our from under the hood. Maybe they have an insert with a lip that could be placed inside your slits and welded on the underside of the hood for a clean appearance?

 

yes now i got ya sorry missunderstood u yes it would have made sence ow well its done now but may others who r thinking of doing such a mode to take r advise on that coz it makes sence thanx man...

 

What did you use to cut it?

 

good job man. Put a black mesh grill underneath the vents and it will look real nice IMO.

 

nice work dude , and keep going

 

HEHEHEH hey man thanx will keep on going and walking just like my man jony walker black lable .... keep on walking untill i reach the best of it all the best to u as well..

 

There are a couple other threads around where people have done this. It's to approximate the Nismo RS Concept hood.

Couple questions:
1. can you post some pics of the underside of the hood showing where/how the cuts affect the underlying structure?

2. How sturdy are the Aluminum slats? My concern is that they might bend easily with no added reinforcement under them.

 

Putting a mesh grill {done properly} will strenghen the vents. Looks very nice BTW.

 

It's obvious that you spent some time and care on this and the results speak for themselves. GREAT JOB!

 

looks a bit rough around the edges.. good job, nonetheless

 

More pics (whole car)

 

U got it but as soon as its done budy still doing some mods and paint next week will be the time....

 

Not for me, but to each his own!

 

+1 Placement is a bit off as well, compared to teh RS concept.

This one is much better:
