lool i just had the stupidest idea in the world....reverse cowl induction doors.....in all reality i think it would be a great idea but i wonder about safety and how much weigh would be saved

lookin' good!



in the first pic, what is that in the far left corner of the hood? is that another small vent, or is the lighting just weird?

I would take one in the future....Ill be in the market for hoods soon...looks great man...

dltreezan 02-04-2004 01:16 PM

yes those are vents in the corners, the lighting sucks so its hard to tell...ill post better pics when i get it done, and im really thinking of keeping this one for myself. As far as the doors go i was joking about the reverse cowl part, it would serve no function but to look rediculous, LOOOL a DMIC, another stupid idea. I like the idea of an FG door, but Im finally getting this hood thing on lock down, Im not going to push my luck for now.
