Is that vent functional or decorative?

Why would someone have to swap back to a stock hood for winter?

 

[FLAMEBOY]

WOW!!!! BC3I!!!

u really did it dude!!! ^_^

looks hot!!!! omg omg, i cant wait till u paint it! if you want... use the grill the 'Malebastard' use.... u know his right?

anyway... sorry didnt have a chance to meet up when ur in sydney.... real sorry dude...

the vent keeps a steady flow of air that comes in from the grille and bumper and goes over the radiator keeping it cooler...at leats i think so LOL

Actually, the location and position of that vent looks like it would allow air to come in through the grille, completely bypass the radiator and go straight out the top of the hood. (dunno)

haha that would suck. And i dont get why that hood wouldnt be good in the winter either. maybe snow would get in your engine??

 

[BC3I]

honestly i could care less cause i love how it looks

very nice and clean.. cept for the gap between the grill and hood. very nice lines otherwise.

 

[DERA]

snow or rain in the engine wouldn't be a problem. they, or at least mine, come with a peice that screws on the inside to block the vent during bad weather

 

[BC3I]

wait what hood did u get the evo style??

 

[DERA]

invader style, with the bottom insert to block the vent

 

[BC3I]

wait do you have the link to the one that you bought so i can see what ur talking about

 

[DERA]

carbonproducts. i got it off of ebay. its the same hood that you have a picture of on the first page of this thread.. the red 3 5dr

 

[BC3I]

oh u know what since your 5dr hood is longer than mine the hood is farther back so u need that...i dont
