Did Adam figure out all this in his head or draw it up first? It was a PITA

So finally got the new hood painted, and it looks awesome.

Thanks again to Kevin and Kelle and crew at V8 Speed and Resto for the outstanding work they did on the hood...couldn't be happier!!!

The whole reason for this hood was to keep the temps under control and after driving the car some, I'm seeing about 15* lower operating temps, so mission accomplished. Never got over 210 in stopped traffic with 90* weather yesterday.

They told me it was a BMW code when they matched it. Bought the car with that paint. A little too orange for me, but still looks nice.

Looks awesome Matt, we're all so glad you like it! Thanks again for letting our crew build it for you!

We are thinking of making a run of these vents for individuals to install in their own hoods via weld-in or bond-in construction.

If anyone is interested in a set, post a reply and we'll be able to determine costs with consideration to demand. We might make 5-10 sets if there is interest.

Thanks!
