"Stealth" WS6 heat extractor mod (idea only)... Technically this doesn't fit in this catagory but since all the other heat extracting hoods would go here... Anyway, the idea is to slot, cut, put grills in along the "hump" portion of the WS6 hood (maybe could work with an SS hood too) and the cut some opening under the hood to allow airflow. I could go on a "rant" about custom hood and all that but I won't. Just seems to me like an obvious way to get a possible performance benefit with no obvious exterior mod.
Thoughts?
edit - to me more clear, this would be the area of the hood where it meets the windshield, under the lip of the hood. Very hard to see unless you were in the car and sat up to look at the hood.

Well seems like a good idea to me. Also seems like it would be more effective than many of the aftermarket hood versions since it is at the end of the hood where more air would be forced out. I think I would want something more professional looking than what you have seen though. Stealth and professional appearance = the win!

Guys, that area is actually a high pressure area, hence why cowel hoods work. Our cars are bottom breathers, and to releive that pressure trapped under the hood you need to vent it closer to the front of the car.
