Thats ALSO brad's car. I like it much better with this venting than the WRX scoop.

..what one could also do is:

1. cut slits with a 90 deg. to the air stream

2. make as many as you like with a gap of about half an inch.

3. at the end of each slit cut the remaining metal bar (or base, so to say) a bit narrower

4. then turn each bar about 35 deg eith the front down and the rear side up

5. continue wiht all of the bar you have done

in the end you will have dozens of little inverted scoops.

This is what some race teams do as well.

i think it looks good and you save a bit of weight as well.

downside is that you have to repaint the chiz....

I think your thinking of "louvers"

[volflo]

..yep Doug. Tho these look like nicely made ones. I was rather thinking of something more "home made" stlye.

[volflo]

..the latter is for my..... . i ll prefer the first one fro the car.

"on y soit, qui mal y pense."

seriously: the saw was what i meant, Doug.

here you can see where my vent-out was cut. it goes along the hood brace, thus not effecting stability of the hood.
