Message There are a few members on here that got that done.

I personally and "TheDevilsZ" (Dee) got our hoods modified with the "speedyzx" style vent, Just with a little update and is more efficient for heat ventilation. I personally did like the original styling of the first version hood.. but I never got the heads up on the change of design for additonal cooling of the version that I got.

Its a cowl vent, So it doesn't show much at all from the front.

The later version of the hood that Dee and I got done will let some serious heat out, Even when the car is idling.. the clutch fan pushes out so much heat, way more than I thought it would.

I am very pleased with the work, Only downfall was that I ended up paying almost $1k for the thing.. WITHOUT paint. I think I got screwed on shipping though..

The work done could have easily been done by any body shop locally that has some aluminum fab experience. If I saw the work (in person) first, I would've found someone locally to do the work.

However; I am still very pleased with the work done and I believe that it will effectively lower engine bay temperature very much.

Search for the pics for "The Devils Z hood" or "speedyzx" for the original hood.

Good luck!

NO, This picture is not photoshopped. It took many times to take this picture. Setting up the timer, shutter speed etc, then jumping on my bike and getting the tire to spin.
