[QUOTE="BenD, post: 1209333, member: 13082"] [b]Another Hood Mod[/b] I was considering a hood mod of a little different nature. Since I road race sustained heat is a real problem. First before I present this idea one of the quick and easy mods that anyone can do is remove the rubber rain strip at the back of the hood on top of the cowl. That simple trick can actually make a significant difference. But remember to keep it in the trunk so you can re-install it when going thru the car wash. Now my idea. In the back of the hood where it turns down I talked to a custom shop about cutting about 5 retangular slots each about 3" long. They said they could do it for about $200. The cuts would help vent more hot air from the SC. I don't know if the cuts would damage the adjacent paint or not, I definitely don't want paint damage, maybe a little around the edges. I have been thinking about this idea for months, but have not acted on it. I even considered the Kenny Brown side vent kit, but I don't like the way it looks. [/QUOTE]
