Pics of RRE Hood Vent installed

Okay, I still get questions and stuff about this, so I thought since we now have a forum more akin to this mod, I'd post some pics. Although I consider it a performance mod (pulling hot air outta the engine), it also looks damn good.

The scoop is carbon fiber, but I had it painted and molded into the hood for a factory-finish look. It is not meant to be a scoop, it's a vent and should be used as such.

I'm curious as to where the water goes when it rains. What does the water drop onto in the engine bay?

It falls onto the radiator hose and around that area, although even when it rains a lot (like today), the way the vent is designed water can't fall straight into the engine bay, it has to hit the vent and roll down into the radiator area. I've driven it when we've had monsoons in tucson and not much of the engine area gets wet, and nothing vital gets wet either.

Cool. I know it has been raining here the past few days so I was just wondering. It looks very good.

I like, I'll think about gettin one myself.

Looks nice, but does it fit 1G hoods? (I can't really imagine that it wouldn't)

Also if you don't mind me asking, what did the install cost?

It fits ANYTHING, it's a hood vent from Carbon Trix/ RRE, I just had it molded in, most just rivet it in (which still looks good).

looks kinda awkward...especially sucks you can't center it due to the "hump". unique tho.
