[AssDrag]

thanks man

[Dicipleofthelie]

did you just cut it out and bend it.........or what?

[AssDrag]

yea cut bend and weld

[Dicipleofthelie]

ive always been kinda confused as to what that type of hood scoop actually does.....or is it just for looks?

Doesn't really do jack... except maybe help negative pressure and whatever else.. let water in under your hood.. all over your dizzy.. etc etc.. ?

Engine ventilation. Cooling for topmounts. That sort of thing.

helps the hot air from the motor excape threw the vent keeping the engine cooler

It's a Good Thing. From what I hear those ae92 hoods can get super-hot after spirited driving.


I see you've got the wire mesh in there... you consider perhaps the black, plastic rain-gutter mesh? Not sure how you'd affix it, though.

Why didn't you just find a GTZ hood?? probably cheaper than CF or FG.

this one only costed about 25 bucks or so. i made it myself

The scoop is going to fuck things up with air flow.. it's a ton of drag...
I suppose they can get hot.. I drive mine to hell sometimes and the hood really doesn't get hot.. But anyway.. Look around and find yourself some of that black mesh.. I'm sure you can find some in aluminum or something then weld it on.. That would look a lot better.. or use some type of fastening system.

The hood of my benz gets 100x hotter than the hood of my corolla. I dont really see any purpose with a hood scoop, unless you got an intercooler directly underneath the hole. It does look kinda neat though.
