Thanks to everyone who supports it. Also, to those who think that it looks odd, I'm aware that not everyone would like this. I was going for the mid 80s european Fords look. To those who said that it would look better painted, I don't think the same way. I see the vent as part of the trim, rather than part of the hood. Since the rest of the trim is all black, such as mirrors, cowl cover, and molding, I think vent looks better black as well.

Yeah, also a couple of S197 GTs. I'm pretty sure that I'm one of the first people to do it on SN95 though. If it's not functional, I might be one of the last.

Most folks here don't like it, but that's not a surprise since they're more fashion than function. I've got a strong appreciation for real racecar functionality. The reality is, most racecars are fugly, but being effective on a racetrack makes up for it.

Hey if it work's you spent $70 if not then all you wasted was a hood you weren't going to sell anyway, and you could alway's sell the vent....

people lighten up! he said he was going for functionality! not best in class at MustangWeek:BangHead: Just kill's me how everyone is so worried about where it should have been installed or by the fact that it doesn't flow well with the color! :confused1:

it is for heat extraction purposes so if it work's good for him, and btw it doesnt look that bad... +1 for being creative and not being like most of us that would have bought the $500 heat extractor hood :notworthy:

I saw that done to a stock F150 hood, it looked great, his truck was black so it blended in more. Maybe if you painted the stock hood vents satin black it would tie the color of the heat extractor in more?

I like the function and the form. I think it looks sick.
