No more hood lifting at speed

Here is my home made hood venting effort. it may not be pretty but it def works. much less hood lift and the front end stays down and is more settled at speed. no need for that $1k CF vented hood now! click on the images to make them bigger.

the other pics are from last weekend at Horsethief mile, a fairly new track at willow springs CA. i had the best time for the day till a new Z06 with slicks just nipped my time. mine is the silver sti with the hood vents of course...

y'all will be proud to know that i also beat Robiesports EVO who was there doing some testing etc.

Interesting, what did you use to cut the hood? just curious....

H4N · 11-07-2006, 05:13 PM

Very nice! How'd you do it? dremel?

IUSTi · 11-07-2006, 05:33 PM

i dont think i go that fast that i have hood lift at high speeds...i dont see it being that big a reason to drill holes into my hood, just my opinion though.

I guess that'll work.

BTW, that's a nicely corded one there.
