has anyone ever taken off the flap of steel that the A sits on? on the hood, that is. I was kinda thinking of getting a 3rd gen jdm front end look…
Sounds like it’d look horrible… Got a spare hood to test it on?
The entire hood latch assembly would be showing. If you are thinking of putting a custom grille right there between the headlights, that would be something different. In fact, i think the hood latch is on that flap that you want to take off. Im at work so i can’t go look.
you’d have to shave it not just cut the whole thing off
what are you talking about? hes not asking to shave the emblem. hes asking about removing the part the emblem sits on to resemble 94+jdm itr front.
yes i am actually aware of that. i didnt mean shave the emblem. i meant shave that lip that the emblem is on, dont completely remove it you just have to make it shorter.
hey adikteg2my92 can you show more pics of your teg front end? I like those headlights. what kind are they?
thats Vardoulika’s car.
people like to post other members car pictures without giving credit to the actual owner. then others see it and assume that the person who posted the picture of the car is theirs.
i am looking for another hood. Some arse with a hitch backed into my car and ran off. i was going to test on that. i was thinking of putting in a grille off a mustang. seems to be the same size. if not, i guess build one out of steel and do it black… If anyone would be willing to part with a hood…hmmmmm
Assuming that the turbo i have FOR SALE does not SELL… maibe this will help cool the engine bay. Maibe after i do some louvers on the hood. Angled Louvers… this stuff is left from my hotrodding days. louvers het pretty hot…
CF Evo hood.
Why are you worried about under hood temp? The engine bay should already stay cool enough. Besides, adding another right there doesn’t really help because it basically doesn’t get any more air into the bay.
Mustang grille? :crazy:
a mustang grille can be used to fill in the gap. it can be trimmed to fit. ideally, i would want the grille to be plastic. i do not have the ability to make a plastic grille from scratch. c’mon now, use the old noggin! yeesh. as far as the underhood temp, that would probably be a side effect to adding the grille. cold air into the engine bay is never a bad thing. jumping to conclusions, i tell ya…
How do you know that it would not add any additional air to the engine bay??
yea thats not my car, i wish. andi usually make sure that i post who’s car it is. or make a note that its not mine
my bad guys, just trying to get the point of across
pretty sure it’s been done before and it looked so so. not too original kinda outta place. This was long ago though. The mustang grill is gay, make your own outta fiberglass if possible. My 2cents
There is NO WAY for any more air to get in through an additional opening at the front of the hood - the hood has a seal against the top of the radiator support, and the radiator support is right behind the area you are talking about. If you don’t have a CAI too, the stock air intake tube is also sitting right behind the front of the hood as well.
The one on the DC2 is basically there for looks because the USDM ones do not have it.
Exactly, i waqnt it for looks! i merely stated that if it were to be functional for anything, it would be a side effect… Would anyone happen to have pictures of this being done? i would be curious to see these…
thanks for the tip about the fibreglass though! it totally slipped my mind. maibe i can use the fibreglass to fill in the hatch too… hmmmmmmm
only real problem is that it is a super tiny area to work with, and eventually get results for. G2 headlights are 2 inches longer than the jdm itrs, so the look wouldn’t be very similar…
not hating or anything, I’ve had my troubles with that little overhang of hood myself.
Fuck…
Vardoulika’s car is smokin’. :bowdown:
Nicer than the orginal JDM DC2 IMO.
adikted2my92- wat kind of bumper is that?
wow…try READING the entire thread. thats not even his car. :bang:
