The quest for 600RWHP - My Build thread.
#21
So far, I've not done anything with it. I'm considering the optional hood vents, removal of the cover, and some sort of heat shield on the underside of the hood. There are four slots to put in plastic inserts to screw something there but I haven't explored that further.

I thought of doing that but the mounting points don't quite work with that cutout. I'm now considering removal but the stock hood vents let enough sun in that the cover is faded around the SUPERCHARGER logos and I don't want to have the stuff underneath get embrittled by the sun.

Best option I've found is to hydrodip the cover in gloss black. Then I will mask and tape off the Jaguar and silver emblems on the cover, and paint them firesand orange, and clear it. That should be nice through the hood.

That is 100% correct. Had my fabricator over today. If we cut two of the mounts out to replace with mesh, the cover will flop all over the engine bay.

And SinF why all the hate? STS-V has a dream, let him reach.

sts-v,
any way you could put that hood on a scale and compare to the stock composite hood? Im not a fan of the clear center but eventually if its a weight savings it would be on the list. following along, also have boxes and boxes of parts being installed waiting for the warm weather.
