I smacked up my car this weekend.Icy bridge.Anyhow I'm gonna need a hood, fender and fascia.
What I wanna know if anyone has that hood with the 2 small "grates".I'm not sure what their actual name is.
Can these things be made into some sort of "Ram-air"?
Do they go completely through the hood or are they just for show?
Has anybody utilized them in any way?
Also I'm getting the 92-93 fascia so I imagine the part where the fog lights go can be used as a way to pick up cold air.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Mike

I cut mine open, mainly for cooling. Ram air doesnt really take effect until 70mph or so.

I couldnt get to either you site or that one. I guess it's webtv limmitations.
I know Ram-air is for higher speeds. I'm interested in cooling/cold air first, as well as any possible Ram-air effect.I was thinking of rigging up an air box, under the vents, like they have in Next Gen catalog even though I woulnt buy the airbox from them.


It should look interesting: 87 hood w/a Banshee nose on a 90 Formula.
