i would love to get this done but i dont have a garage so the car is exposed to the elements so idk if having vents in the hood when its raining and snowing is such a good idea? Any thoughts?

 

Car cover?

 

yeah i actually have have one but im not sure how much of a pain that would be

 

One could do three in a row, then check the flow under real circumstances with tell-tales or something. If the vent closest to the windshield/windscreen were counter productive, it could be blocked on the underside, preserving the best of function and looks. For that matter, some portion or portions of any vent section that is counter productive could be blocked on the underside.


If I were venting and parked outdoors in all kinds of weather, I might put a kind wide, shallow 'gutter' below the vents with at least one inch clearance between the uppermost part of the gutter and the lowest point of the hood/bonnet underside all the way around the gutter. The resulting trickle of water could be drained forward as a part of the slope of the car.

 

Need beta testers lol

 

wdtd seems to have a lot of good idea about this.

 

Good ideas need a design and designs require funding lol w/o proper interest I cannot invest the money alone I'm still waiting to see how many people actually want the venting done as I have acrylic templates made up just waiting to water jet them out of a sheet it's going to cost me some coin to do it do I'm waiting for actual interest

 

i have a spare hood i dont need i can donate to the cause if u need something to test on

 

sounds good to me now a design will need to be implemented for drainage... Ideas are rolling but need to see if they are even practical

 

Front grill for AP2 is made and getting powder coated I'll post more pics after I install tomorrow

If anyone has an AP1 that wants a grill made I can do it I'll just need your car for a few hours to mock up a design it's pretty painless
