I made the bumper and even tried to make molds for them. The molds still need some work. They fit the factory bumper for the 2k2-2k3 grill.

Factory hood. My body shop cut and welded the factory hood with those vents. The format kinda copies the back bumper. No bindo or FG on the hood. It dropped the temp under the hood a bunch and it seems to sticj the road better at high speeds. I got the idea from Nascar. I seems that Nascar has been trying to cheat by making the hole much bigger, so Nascar has regulated the size of that hole.

I like it, especially the custom hood. Unique!
You need some lightweight show wheels now to set it off real good.

Trying to get sponsered. That way I have my everyday wheels and a set just for shows....less cleaning. I have had one offer but they were ugly wheels.
Thanks for the props.

well Latin, been awhile, Love those pics......... In regards to the hood, i was thinking along a similar line, but I am considering putting in a NACA duct,BUT il like the fact that your design draws the heat out of the engine bay via speed and acceleration, thus improving the Laminar flow. Plus with the added benefit of cooling the bay while having the supercharger is paramount to the life extension of both the engine and supercharger... well done my friend

Wow your 5th gen looks awesome. Congrats on first place, are you auto or manual? I agree NismoNoob, some show specific wheels would look awesome.

Thanks for the comments. It is an average of about 50 degrees cooler under the hood.

Still thinking about it. Depends on if I can get her reliable enough for the long trip. More HP = less reliable

Love the look and color. The color scheme of the hosing wire looks good and I love the hood. Great job on the placing...

Looks great. Only thing I would change would be to clear out the headlights and paint them body color.

They are painted body color?!?!?!?! and I like the turn signal yellow to of set the color a little. I did the clear for a few moths and felt it looked to plain for me. I like the clear look on light colored cars. |
