Re: ever tried this with the hood?

im putting a set on my camaro but i have gone through about 6 mock up's and still need to get it right.
im using cardboard then a good design goes onto wood, but i still dont like the bracing yet.
im putting them where there is only one level of metal, although there is some overlap.
good luck.

If you look around TGO, you'll find that has been done many times. Nothing new.

i planned on doing that, but putting an air filter right behind it, so it could get nice fresh air into the engine!

Re: ever tried this with the hood?

where was it tony? did they show the setup used or did they just cut a hole where the vents already were?
unlike the f/b i am lucky enough to be able to decide where my vents are going to go. if you dont know the site maybe afew key words so i can do a search for it?
