My Carbon Fiber Hood Wish...
#1
I've been tossing around the idea of a carbon fiber hood sometime this summer, and I'm looking for something somewhat functional (lighter, and venting over stock)....

I like the look of the evo hoods, but the one I find the most has retarded-looking vents (and most likely useless as well)...

I recently stumbled on this little gem..

[Image: 00FFFUZCFH.jpg] for the focus.. Any idea if anyone makes something with the elise-like curves, but without that nose-cone-hole? I'm not sucking in birds, I just want to vent some hot air from the engine bay in the summer time.

thoughts?

carbon and/or Kevlar hoods disapate heat so quickly , venting is useless unless it is to injest air into the intake or you have a turbo RIGHT UNDER(almost touching) the hood and do not want to discolour the weave.

I also wish someone made a CF hood that wasn't CF on Fiberglass, but that might be asking too much.

I might just get the ricer EVO hood (non vis)... it's all gonna get painted anyways...

Letting heat out of your engine bay good! Letting all that rain into your engine bay.... very bad.

Too busy for me but still cool.
I have a few cars.

One for my dog.
One that has no roof.
One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?
