Default NB vented hood

So guys, should I bother trying to make this work and get a mold made and sell copies?




The vent is huge so i can make it smaller. I just dont want to waste my trying to mass produce it if no one cares

Hell Yeah! What's the wierd looking thing the left side though? Would you retain the power bulge?

Well the vent is from a celica GTS so that little vent is there for lord knows what. Im not going through the trouble of getting rid of it so you could do with it as you please.

And YES ill deffinately keep "the bulge" lol

I like the vents that have more of an extended front leading edge over the vent. Like imagine putting a STi scoop flipped around directly in front of that vent.

I like it aside from the goofy thing on there. If that isn't there on the final hood I'd grab one in a minute.

Very tempting. I really want a nice extractor hood. The NB's need more stuff like that.
