Well its kinda hard to say but I would vent it evenly maybe like a sheild split in two but the frickn turbo is going to be by the back fire wall i would have to say furthere back then the last one would increase performance but would it look good????????

If I had an 08 or if I were to buy another hood for my 03 I would want a hood with a reverse scoop that is set in to pull hot air out. like this hood. except minus the Lift in the middle. Just a "U" shaped vent set in to bring heat out.

I'd say heat extractors like the 03/04 cobra. This will also be similar to the new Evo.

lol the lancer owner wants something off their lancers, the mustang owner wants something from the cobra, i say make something new for a whole new car

i would buy a cf version of the stock hood, better looks, less weight, no worries about being called a ricer

I dunno... The hood im mentioning is used in many applications. The hood I picture is very similiar but not exactly what im talking about. a hood that pulls heat out of the engine like this is useful to any application.. and almost looks oem since you dont see any mesh anywhere..

no vents!!! just go for a smooth look, it makes it clean looking instead of having 25 vents in a hood that looks like it was at a butcher shop

Thats an idea. Maybe OEM with the middle clear. A small window. I've seen them, but very few.

I would say make 2 different ones. Seems to be half the people like the Evo hood, and half like OEM. I bet OEM would me much "cleaner", but the Evo look will depend oh how you guys make the vents.
