Default Hood Vents

Well in my quest to help lower IAT's I started looking for someone to cut my hood...that i when I found S~Factor; small problem...he is in NJ and I am in NC. After a little logistics planning, I drove to NJ. I have been to NJ and NY several times on business, but this trip was really fun! Spent the night in Cranbury and at dinner at a local diner, met tons of great folks and had a blast. The trip up was fantastic, actually stopped in Maryland at Reichard Racing and met staff and got a tour of the facility. First thing I see coming into NJ (notice the AP1)



Here is the car the last night before her surgeory:

Finnished product:





















The attention to detail and commitment to providing a quality product by S~Factor was outstanding, a true craftsman. Here is the trip odometer for the round trip...well worth it!

If I knew you were taking videos, I would have worn something nicer.

Looks great!! I really want to do mine. I did an ap2 taillight conversion myself and cutting the steel pissed me off very very badly!! Just a pain in the ass. I assume cutting the aluminum of the hood is much much easier. Just waiting till im in the mood and ill go for it!
Also i plan to use a mesh more similar to that of whats on an EVO hood..
