CF EVO hood interest???
- Thread starter Bigg Tim
- Start date
i talked to someone at JTR today and they said they are shipping the hood today or tomorrow, it should be here sometime next week. I hate paypal it takes so damn long for s*** to clear.

this is my thought on the matter.
The pic up there hopefully is very similar to what I will be getting. I can see through the evo vent and can tell there is a rainguard(little holes), so i know it isnt a vis. KNowing that it is for a different car might make a difference of where the intake vents were placed, so maybe they will be more in the area for the protege on the specific hood. There wont be any ducting like the DGM hood, instead i imagine it will be a basic hole.
Now the vis one is unfunctional because the intakes dont go directly into the bay, they just allow the air to enter the inbetween space of the hood panels, and then eventually leak into the engine more in the center through some opening.
The jtr, i hope, will vent directly into the area of the engines intake, but even if its not right in front of the intake, it will still allow cool air to get into that area, even if its not a direct ram style. I will be happy if it at least vents into that general area.
BTW- this is my educated guess from talking to people and looking at various pictures of different hoods. I may not be correct.

I've been asking them for pics, but they keep saying they don't have any. I asked them to take some, but no response yet.
Emode, hook us up with some good pics, like top side, under side and the same for the scoops. I don't think they are going to get me those pics.

yeh at first i was willing to pay any price because i wanted orange kelvar... thats y i sought ion. I'm rethinking now, and like 200$ isn't worth the supposeiively 6whp the functional duct shud give. Now it's either this or VIS.
I guess we can only wait for pics, but honestly I do not see how these can be functional when they look exactly like VIS's... we shall see

its here!
its a vis
it comes with a hole drilled were the intake vent is
and the rain guard is a peice that is screwed onto the bottom of the vent, but i dont know how it can vent if its covered
i guess thats what i get for being the test subject
it also has a very tiny chip right on the front, probably from shipping, should i make a fuss about it?
ill try to get pics soon.
