H2 Hood Vent modification for D2!!
hey guys...
i was reading another thread about under-hood engine temps and how high they were...i was thinking that a vent would be sweet....but i didnt want a cheapo carpet vent or a stamped aluminum vent they required rivits to install...
i started to look at ebay and google for ideas and i came a across a H1 hummer hood that incorporated a vent...i got to thinking that this is what i'd like...so i did more research and i found a H2 hood vent from a wreaked hummer.....i got it on ebay for a amazing $2.25 plus shipping...
of corse its non functional but all i would need is a cutting wheel and 2 mins and all the vents would become functional.... heres some pics i PHOTOSHOPED of what it would look like....let me know what you think of it and why!!!!
this is a better pic

its made from high impact black plastic....like the airbox material...but i'd say its twice the thickness of the air box....i'm not worried about it melting...i mean...a H2 in desert heat witha 6.0 gas engine must be hot also....thiers doesnt melt....i think i'll be okay..

well, I like the concept of a hood vent.
I think it would look fine without a blackout. With a blackout i'd be afraid of the blacks being two different tones, and if you're like me that would bug you to death.
Its certainly worth experimenting with... (not the cutting the hole part thought)
