as far as I know neither the front nor the cowl is functional

But I've heard otherwise on the newer version of the hoods...

If you have a good fiberglass worker in your town the front induction can be made to be functional rather easilly with mesh installed and all for about $50 (thats what it cost out here anyways)

I have that hood, it is the ASCD hood. The back of mine is open just like a cowl hood. I've been thinking of opening up the front, but I haven't worked up the nerve yet.

Hey edin, what did you use to cut the front out, and how hard was it. Like I said, I've been thinking about it, but I didn't want to mess up my hood.

when i said i cut it out i meant the body shop ppl did, hehe, they said it not hard, u prolly can do it yerself, just get whatever tool is cool for cutting fiberglass and use that, they did a pretty goos job, it kinda jagged (cant tell form outside, but when im driving i can see through the open back of the hood scoop out the front section and it looks a bit jagged so when i take my car to body shop next (or when i decide to paint my vette fiberglass taillight piece) i will sand it down.
