it would be hard to do because the stock hood is aluminum, it wants to snap instead of bend

I ran into a guy in Northern Virginia a few months ago that had that done... they were pressed into the hood verses coming out.... looked so good I considered it for mine... I don't think he's on any of the forums though.



very subtle, but very functional https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

i know a guy that has it done on a Tii hood (also Al) just take it too a hotrod or custom shop and ask them how much to do it. That kind of work is sort of a lost art now and it doesn't come cheap

may want to look into the RE-Amemiya hoods i think jspecracer has a bunch of louvres on his RE-A hood, i forget which model it was tho, IIRC he mentioned thinking of selling it recently.
