Can't stop, won't stop - finally my build

[Navi]

You going to wrap the hood or leave it raw CF?

Not sure, I haven't decided. I think I might end up on wrapping it. I don't like the two tone that much.

Cool.
Holes in hood?
How does it handle rain water. Curious.

It handles water really well. It's two carbon fiber pieces pressed together. There is no direct hole through to the engine bay like in evo 8/9 hoods which caused rusted/corroded engine parts. It's actually a really trick heat dissipation by forced ventilation without direct holes. And the hood has water channels built inside of it with water drain holes. I'll take some more pics of the inside and post them up. It's actually really amazing. I was comparing engine coolant temps and engine oil temps from when I drove with the oem hood and then the carbon fiber hood on the same day. It was actually 3-4 degrees warmer but the temps of the engine were 10-15 degrees cooler when moving than oem hood. I wasn't expecting such a big difference.

Ok here are the pics to show the vents and how the hood works. Notice they don't go all the way through. The vents are different in each side to allow rain to go into the water channels.

[Navi]

not sure if I'll wrap or not. Probably should, but I'm lazy with the car these days.
