Well, actually the body shop is doing it. It's already done, just not on the car yet.

It's not hard if they know what they are doing...expect to pay a little bit though. My body shop has done three to date that I know of.

I did this awhile ago. My vents are higher than the RS hood. It really does keep the engine bay temp cool.

Anyway the body shop didnt do this for me.I Did it on my own and my car was just at the shop.you just need the right tools and time to make this.
Its PITA and alot of people are scared to cut there hood.but you do really to take alot of time and steady hands to pull this off.
