Hello?

Stu?

Unless you have a screaming P60 under the hood there is no reason for a vented hood. Solid choice to keep the fitment OEM, Charlie.

Or a turbo.

I remember on my old car even with a turbo blanket, things got soo hot under the hood.

I used to have a turbo DSM. With boost at around 15psi, there were no excess heat issues and the hood wasn't vented.

Turbo is not an option for my ///M guys.....let's get that straight...If and when I boost my ///M, I will be installing an ESS VT-550 supercharger kit. I know there are other options but this is the option I choose for my ///M. Thanks for the suggestions though....

I was just contributing toward the vented hood justification discussion.

As you can see, Mike ensured each door panel was properly wrapped prior to packaging them in the shipping box.

There were some scratches on the carbon fiber inners and on the passenger's side map pocket on the door card itself but very minor....guess its to be expected from used door cards. Who knows how many hands these door cards have been through before they landed into my hands ;)
