big waste of time, it looks stupid. Trust me you’ll get sick of it. Cahill’s hood was made like garbage, its so brittle that he needs 4 hood pins to hold it down before it gets ripped off his car and kills an innocent driver. ---

STFU. This thread went downhill when it was started. _cliffs_ If you want to make a vented hood, do it properly so it doesnt fly apart and kill people. Buying an aftermarket vented hood is a viable option. Girls, keep your insessent arguing to email/msn/in-person. ---

Buying an aftermarket vented hood is a viable option. > > Girls, keep your arguing to email/msn/in-person. I cleaned it up, it’s unlocked now. Why is it that every thread Ian posts in turns to shit? Aside from the “we hate Ian” club that follows you around, I think the main problem is that you come in and just cut up other people’s ideas/work/cars. It’s really irrelevant if you’re right or wrong - you’re free to voice your opinion, just stop being such a prick about it… everyone gets defensive and the thread turns to shit. You’re not going to change the way people think, and especially not by telling them they’re morons. Try something constructive. As for rx7killa, we dont need people like you on the site at all. Continue. ---

Wrong. Paul even you should admit that half the kids on this website cannot take constructive crit. Everyone gets there back up when someone voices an opinion and instead of having a normal discussion they start bashing eachother. Everyone thinks they are a know it all. When in reality they arn’t.

Grab a hood, cut out what you want, then make a model of what you want your vent to look like, stick it in, then lay fiberglass over it and make a new hood. Incase you misunderstood, you would be only using the old hood and the vent model as… a model, to make a whole new one piece hood that has a vent in it. Safer, lighter, better. ---

Sounds like a lot more work to me…id say its the most professional way but i dont want to have to go about with making support braces under my fiberglass hood getting it to bolt on etc…id much rather just ensure my fiberglass peice will be secure. The vents im making are out of sheet metal and will be tac/spot welded on and the fiberglass will be used to smooth out the sharp vents and just make the hood look smooth. I will be re-enforcing the bracing under the hood. ---

That’d work… but you’d have a heavy-ass hood. Up to you. ---
