Well i have a GT4 and i am thinking of making the hood scoop functional by removing the insulation from under the hood. Due to high temps in my country the heat soak on the hood will be great. So after giving it some thought i think i will remove the insulation and cover parts of the hood underneath with a self adhesive heat rerflecting material. I found this. reflective material
Does anybody else tryed something similar? Is that product reliable? What do you think? |

You will be amazed at the amount of heat which pours from the bonnet vent its quite incredible. The 3S-GTE is a hot running engine - you really should get rid of all that heat.
I would much rather pay for a paintjob on a hood every few years than have all that heat trapped inside the engine. Get rid of it. The high temperatures in Cyprus are even more reason to do this
