definately going to do the extrator style (rockcrawls) when I get into the body mods. Has anyone tried the guy on ebay (driven visions) who sells a similar one?

i see 2 different styles here....a close opening by the fan, and a "tunnel" type opening by the windshield.........is one more effective than the other for hot air release?/downforce @ high speeds? are they both as effective for keeping your headlights down? James

what i found was since it was shorter than most others cowl hoods, i couldn't open the front section up as much as possible and still cover it. it didn't matter at a stop. the fan forced air out the front opening i made and the rear by the winshield. in motion air still got sucked in at the windshield. even though it was still blowing out the front i didn't know if it was air from the radiator or air just coming in the back and blowing out the front. i didn't like that, plus the raised hood kind of stopped appealing to me also. it's a givaway if someone will come get it.
since i'm posting let me beg again for some fiberglass guy to consider making a front hood vent that would match the kahines/skitime style rear center vent. i want something like that for my gt.

I've done a few hoods... Here I believe I have some pictures of a couple. Keep in mind I was just fooling around with most of them. Such as the 5" cowl that a buddy and I decided to do the other day... haha..
Below, From Fiero Int'l. Below, Home built 2'' Drop hood. (Needed to cut 1" out of trunk wall and re-seal it. Below, Home built scoops, the other one is in a mold at the moment so I couldn't finish the mock up for you. But I am sure you get the picture. Below, Talked about above, however a buddy and I were fooling around and decided to build a 5" cowl. Saw a mustang driving around with one and thought, Hey why not Muscle out a fiero for no reason what so ever. Maybe more people will think that theres a V8 under the hood instead of my spare tire? haha
