Hey David,

I'm thinking of doing the hood cutting also... how much of a pain in the ass is it really? Any tips you care to share??

Mine so far has to be the OEM hard top. I like it because I personally like it makes the car complete, it looks naked with out one and like it should not be a convertible. Don't get me wrong I do like to roll with thte top down every once and a while.

Easily my favorite mod, but then again, I couldn't imagine my S without the exhaust...Definitely a close #2!

Actually, it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.....took me and a friend about an hour and a half. it's pretty straight forward.

just follow the directions from this link.

Yeah, I've seen the DIY, I just wasn't sure how difficult it really was. Has it helped significantly with heat soak??

I installed my Mugen cooling mods and Hondata IMG a couple month ago, but didn't notice a change in the temp gauge. after i vented the hood the temp gauge was jumping down and up one bar.
