looks good, but if you really want to drop under hood temps, wrap your downpipe. Your temps will drop almost in half. I don't have actual numbers but. It makes a HUGE difference.

 

I have full turbo blanket and a wrapped down pipe,

 

One of the car mags did a study and found out that lifting the back of the hood up with decrease underhood temps. I forgot how much.

 

How would you do that? I cant seem to find any close up pics of the hinges

 

*cue people telling you it will decapitate you in a front end collision



btw I think you did a good job on the hood!

 

THe hinges are under the fender. On ebay you can find spacers made specifically for the FC that work without unbolting the fenders to get at the hinges.

 

The vents turned out nice. I have something similar on my hood and it saved me an engine rebuild when my efan died in traffic last summer.

 

Good job on the louvers! (the ONLY place they belong on the fc for the record)

I would look into doing something similar for my v mount if I didn't have a sexy style hood I need to pick up. Any ideas on how to keep rain out ? Lol

 

Hey thanks, yea I'm really not to worried about the rain with mine. I was going to try to hook up some kind of system underneath the hood to divert water, but once I checked the placement of everything I saw that any water would drain between the radiator and the front of the motor and not actually hit anything

 

they look good. Nice touch. I also was having problems running down the road getting really hot. Like 70mph at 215F with my e fan. I swapped the clutch fan and stock shroud back on. Highest temp driving so far..190..... Shouldn't have ever taken it off

 

Actually I had that same issue with my N/A years ago, I used the stock shroud with the e-fan and that worked really well.
