My Hood. Its too hot out, should I remove it? I think it will keep it a LOT cooler, so the heat can escape.

Is it too ricey? Im not doing it to be "cool" and show everybody my ****. Id rather have a hood on, to keep my investment safe.

Would you guys do it? I would put it back on once winter time comes. Ive seen a few turbo cars who have removed their hood in the last few weeks. Must work nice?

Hey bro, just get a shop to cut the hood and install a functional hoop scoop or get a lower temp thermostat. Do Not take off your hood, makes the car look ugly

I know it looks like ***, but thought it would be a good idea. But if ill get cited, nvm.

Thanks

Peace

oh, and anybody have a link to a thermostat that opens at a cooler temp? It wouldn need to open too much cooler than stock, but just a little.

You guys know I am not doing this to be cool. I agree its ricey when you see a car w/no hood. its ghey. But I have actually seen nice cars lately that do that in the summer.

Oregon and SF are not nearly as hot as here^^ (last 2 posters). It serves a very good purpose. Keep the engine bay 100 degrees cooler. maybe more or less, I dunno? When I open my hood I can feel so much damn heat escape, and it would be nice for the summer to just let the heat constantly escape.

I am not doing it though. biyatches

I had my hood off for about 3-4 days but I had a reason for it. I sold my stock hood to Chris(the cop) on the site and my CF hood had not come in yet so...........................don't do it.
