As long as the factory body lines remain, I think this'll look pretty good on our cars, especially if functional. depending on placement you may be able to run a corvette or fbody air filter system. Very Interesting.

not to mention judging by where the scoop is located, it may be right above the radiator...

In regards to the air intake system...how would that work? Our engines intake is located on the side of the motor, not the front as found in corvettes and fbodys. You could fabricate something but then it's just as useful as the ram air on their from the factory.

Agreed. IMO it wont flow with the car especially with our front nostrils. Leave these to the Evo's

Wouldn't look bad with the center of the grill cut out to make one opening. Maybe put the arrowhead right on some large speed grill or honeycomb grill work. It will be different for sure.

That is because it's not designed to be a intake inlet, it's a heat extractor, hence why the opening it located directly behind the radiator.

Heat extractors serve two purposes. Obviously the main one it to remove excess heat from the engine bay.

The second it allowed air pressure that would create lift at high speeds escape to reduce lift, in turn improving both highspeed traction and stability.

The hood has an interesting design but I need to see this on a car before I make a decision.

I thought JSP is based in Tonawanda, NY :???:

These mother****ers. 7 years down the road after donating my hood to one of their primary suppliers they get this shit output.

BTW, for those of you so quick to jump the gun you DO realize that every other RA hood exposes the engine bay to water, dirt, etc. in the case that the vents are left open right?
