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? |
