no bracing, (reinforced internally via honeycomb)
and the underside is smooth/channel from the front-> back and vents out by the window.

they claim -20*C cooling reduction with this... whether that's underside engine temps,?? questionable.
water temp? eh. maybe. i saw some reduction by removing the plastic seal that seals off the engine bay with the hood and windsheild..

check out my MS paint edition:

I will try and snap some pictures of it soon for everybody. To be honest, I don't remember well enough to explain in detail.

Espirit Hood, underside. taken from Z magazine, issue #5



you can see the underside, and how the air can come out from the trailing edge of the hood.

i believe my drawing was accurate :P
