Anyone ever cut a vented "heat extractor" fiberglass hood?
I am always daydreaming about ideas that aren't the common muscle car type tricks, that are (hopefully) functional, tasteful/subtle, and most importantly, reversible.
I have been looking at fiberglass hoods for a long time but I have to be honest that the scoop hoods from AAR (not sure who else makes them) aren't my style, functional or not. I'm more inclined to get cold air through smartly located ducts on a sealed air cleaner...and use the fiberglass hood as an opportunity to improve ventilation.
There are some "cut a hole and drop in" type vents out there...most of which are hideous but some might be ok.
Has anyone done this? If so, how did it come out? How did you pick the location for the vents?
Pictured below is the Tiger Racing hood developed with the help of Ford for their Boss 302S race cars. Evidentially, they help immensely with under-hood temps. Something like this would be neat...
Any thoughts or opinions would be welcome.
