[Tigawoods]

i read an ariticle in a recent issue of sport compact car and was inspired

i was looking into a summer project to keep me busy. i want to look into the pros and cons of this and what i am going to get myself into. the basic idea is to cut the shape out and bend it down. the only cons i can think of are cracking of the paint when cutting, bending issues, and clearance between the bottom of the inlet and the engine (or above the intake where it will be) i would assume a carbon fiber hood would be easier to do this on due to its pliability, but if i were to get a plain cf hood i would just go with the gt-four hood if i were to spend money. i just wnat to try it on my oem

here is an example on a miata

i just read that, sounds good! i think finding a good cosmetic position will be important so your car doesnt look crappy when done, not too far near the bumper or windshield and not too far near the center is my opinion on that

i was thinking a little bit in front of the intake area

that duct would of looked great about 10 years ago when the Viper made it popular. Now it's just out dated and IMO doesn't belong on our cars.
