Re: Japanese induction hood
For the most part, I think all these heat extractor hoods are no different than the crazy insane import ground effects kits. Everyone flames the import guys for the GFX, but suddenly the hoods are cool? I don't see it, but that's just my opinion. HOWEVER.....Intimidator, YOUR hood is very simple, straight forward and to the point. Not overdone at all. Very nice. I like it!

Re: Japanese induction hood
hoods almost done. after the bondo the cutout goes in the front and the mesh screen.
After the hood is done then my custom cold air intake is goin to be built. cant wait!

Re: Japanese induction hood
to be functional it has to be that far back. mine should actually be a litte further back then where it is now but i wanted it a little further forward. it needs to be after the radiator. plus the hood latch isnt that far in front of where the cutouts are now.

Re: Japanese induction hood
We want pics intimidator, really like the look of that hood, not overly done and ***** looking like some others. Less really is more in a lot of cases and hoods are one of them IMHO

Honestly, I think that the hood that started this whole thing is a bit tacky, but something like intimidator's hood has my interest from a functional perspective- I think it's a great solution to building a more serious drivetrain and still getting the heat out without going with a much bigger radiator...
