Trans Am hood
Anybody every cut out the portion of the hood under the vents on a TA hood? I'm not looking for ram air or anything but I think if that vent was functional more air would flow into the engine bay, which can't be a bad thing.

I've seen it done many times here on TGO, just don't know how they turned outm but don't recall anything negative being said about them.

Re: Trans Am hood
Almost seems like the smart thing to do... Would rain/possible rust problems be a factor in your area/place of storage. (Garage vs. my backyard etc.)

Nope, the car is always in the garage and never driven in rain. I had a Formula back in day and I removed the back part of that hood. I drove that car all year round too.
