Default DIY vented hood (Updated)

Hey there fellow Tampa S2000 owners:

I understand that a while back a group of owners got together and did the DIY vented hood mod for their S. Looking to see if any others around the area are down for doing this mod together.

Link to mod:

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...0&#entry6266691

If you have time, read the whole thread. There are many advantages to doing this mod other than just looking awesome. If you are worried about it sticking out too much, you can paint the vents your stock color and it blends in quite nice (which is what I plan on doing).

Picture for reference and different styles.



I don't have the tools needed, so we will have to find someone with the garage space and tools. And settle on a date that's good for everyone. The perforated aluminum needed comes in a huge sheet, and from what I was able to gather can supply 4-5 cars. I am more than willing to purchase this for us.

List of people interested.

1) y4ngel
2) brewtal
3) SilvCivOn17s
4) Raven628
5) SweetS2K
6) tampas2000
7) scutrCR

We don't have to do this any time soon, could be a couple weeks or a month or two down the line. Trying to gather interest




TENTATIVE DATE : APRIL 26TH, 2008.

I have a spare hood I bought just for this.

Not sure if I will be in town for the event, due to my busy schedule.
Put me down as in, and if not in town, will include a bottle of Real Russian Vodka for payment.

There is NOTHING to worry about concerning rain! It will just keep those sections "clean" of all the dust that accumulates. The pic is my hood and I still have not used my rain guards!

Just so everyone knows, this is not going to be done within the next week or two.

We have a few things we need to do before a date can be set.

1) A location to do this
2) Someone with tools for this job
3) Certain supplies need to be ordered.

I made this thread to gather interest, I'll leave it for about a week so I can get a general idea of who is interested so I can know how much supplies to order.

WE NEED SOMEONE WITH GARAGE SPACE AND TOOLS!
