I was thinking about using that intake with my cervinis hood, but the intake just cost too much for me at the time... I can take some pictures of the underside tomorrow if anyone wants, the scoops are open and don't channel the air anywhere unless you have the ram air kit.


This is the hood I have

Your hood would work, providing that the openings aren't too far back, past the VMS...
I do like MELLOW idea though.

How are the Cervini's hoods about keeping the under hood temps down? I know on Steeda's website they have some cowl hoods that are supposed to keep the heat down. I am not a huge fan of cowl hoods though, so I'm still looking at Cervini's for my hood. I want something that not many other people will have, but that I still like.

This hood is looking nice to me. To keep it unique I wouldn't necessarily go with the same body package all around though. Hood first for me though

The only thing that hood will do for you is give you more clearance over the engine for a high rise intake (which you won't be doing since we're not carbed) or a big ole blower (which you may or may not have plans for). It has no extra provisions for heat extraction, or intake of cold air.

Personally, I think that's one of the ugliest hoods out there for these cars.

These aren't the best pictures, and I have no idea what happened to them when I uploaded them to Photobucket... But maybe you can get an idea from them...

I haven't seen many with this hood either. Nice big ol' scoops on it.

Is that the hood that you have on your car ?
