I'm a fan of symmetry. If you do it, use two of them. But I gotta say, it's clean without it!

HAHHA nice! Just one looks off. If there was another next to it, I think it would look better and obviously have more ram air function. These things always remind me of the one's that CTC sells. They go right on the middle of your hood to make it look like a shaker, and it's completely non functional. RICE!!!!!!!!!!! But seeing as it's real carbon, and there's A LOT more carbon on the car. It can be pulled off. BUT GO 2 or 0.

But isn't this a duct? Pointing directly at the hottest spot in the rad? Lol I meant ducting the existing ducts properly (it's not done right stock unless you still have the radiator duct which most FMIC guys don't bother with because it won't fit). In essence, getting all the parts to match up perfectly (usually using insulating foam) so that no air can bypass the radiator. Although it's a good idea, the duct you want to add is more for air intake and turbos facing the front. Don't think it'll make too much of a noticeable difference for the radiator temp. That's why I thought you were routing it to the intake. I'm a fan of symmetry. If you do it, use two of them. But I gotta say, it's clean without it! And yet you bought one of the only cars with a non-symmetric hood hehe In a way the intake should equalize the non-symmetry of the hood bump by making it different on each side. There's an art term for it but I forget what it is

I have CF ducts on my EVO, they are functional and look effing slick.
My vote is still the same Rob. If it's functional and looks good, do it. I'll stick with my original comment too; Your build is a one off build, this is another way to differentiate your car from the rest.
If you go through with it. Go with black rivets, they make it look that much better.
I should have prefaced all of the above by stating how much of a sucker I am for carbon fiber....

I am leaning more towards what Gui is saying though. Work with what you got, although the vent looks alright, I am not sure how functional it would actually be.

I realize what it does, I just don't think it will work. Your pointing at something that is not designed to dissipate heat.

LOL, I thought you said you were point it at the hose, not the fins well, come on now, its pointing at the rad, DIRECTLY where the upper hose dumps hot water. Thought that was a given.

I just ask cause the guys that have issues with cooling who are still running A/C use ducting to improve cooling. Thinking something like this: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/att...7&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1283289974The thread is pretty interesting. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/road-course-autocross/210879-getting-ready-2006-race-season-4.html
