Hood "vent/ram air type question any pics

[gretchen/jason]

So has anyonf cut the hood in front of the radiator to catch more air to force it into the rad . Kinda like blue ovals z hood just in front of the rad as a scoop of sorts sorta like a upside down wrx scoop in front of the radiator .

 

Any pics if someone has , i have a extra hood i want to modify but if i could see pics of ideas before i start cutting would help determine what i do with my own hood .

You could 'graft' on NACA ducts. They come in many sizes, and if you get the 'plastic' type, you might be able to carefully heat it up enough to get the contour of the hood slope in front of the radiator. The thing that you will need to be prepared to contend with in a location BEFORE the radiator is the significant slope of the hood.

 

The ducts that I chose to use were too rigid, so I grafted mine behind the radiator on the hood where it flattens out. True, not as much 'Ram' air; but, it still brings air into the engine compartment for generalized cooling. Most important for me was the aesthetic.

 

This is a pic of a GORGEOUS Z done by another Hybrider. Sorry, it has been too long since I put this pic in my 'private stash' for me to give the owner specific credit. The car as a whole is exceptional.

This upside down subaru scoop is actually behind the radiator.

Mine is behind the radiator and simply directs air out and up from the radiator and keeps it out from the under-hood area.
