i had a 4inch cowl but traded it in a deal i got a simple rs hood but got tired of lookin at it so i made a viper style ram air still need to make a box round the throttle body but just seein if anyone else likes it

 

Creative.

 

Good Idea

 

Good job, but you need a vent grille to really complete it.

 

nope Dont like it.

 

Is that a NACA duct?

Swap the cone filter out for a flat faced one, & you wouldn't have the "wall" of that filter in the way.

 

What about when it rains, wouldn't water get funneled right into your air filter?

 

Same. Creative though.

 

Looks pretty cool.

 

id have to see the whole car to really make a descision but it looks like its done right

 

no its not a duct i just cut the hood and pushed it down and welded it then finished it and yea water goes right in but been drivin for 9 months and hasnt harmed it yet but ill get some full car pics soon

 

guess u dont mind a rusty/dirty engine bay. dude take a piece of metal cut it to fit the hole in the hood, take a drill bit of ur choosing and put it in a vice and drill holes in it to create a grill pattern. mold it to the hood and there u go.. u could even go all the way and put a neon behind it and have it light up (at shows not going down the road like i did when i forgot i had my underbodys on) ps. if u do this with the neon. mount a lil light inside that comes on when the light in the hood is on so that u will know if its on or off.. but i kinda like it.. gatta see pic of whole car to make up my mind.. or at least the front end

 

here is some better pics

 

Looks good, but also shows how our engines are offset from center.

You gonna put some kinda mesh grill in there?

 

ye thats funny ive had people tell me i cut it off center then i have to explain hav gm does that so it dont throw out the u joints all the time. and i have thought about a grill of some kind but donk know what would look right and i kinda like the wide open look

 

A grille in there would hide the off center engine.

Or maybe....Built your own filter housing that sets the filter end, centered with the hood scoop? That would be trick, but also look odd when the hood is open, damnit.....

It's a lose-lose, other than putting a grill in there.

 

you could get a piece of grill for rain spouts. they sell it at home depot. cut it, fit it , paint, powdercoat
