Just curious to see what your end results look like after cutting your wiper cowl. Anyone incorporate the weather stripping back into it??
Thanks guys

fuel: that's looking sweet ![Nod](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_nod.gif)
SparkyJJO : Could be for many reasons. Most guys I've seen usually cut it up to make room for a taller intake or just more room in the engine bay. I plan on deleting my wipers and the cowl just looks wierd how it is. Just trying to get some ideas on some different looks.

.....weight reduction also
collier, are u going to eliminate the plastic cowl piece or get an extended hood?
it would look like *** if u didnt keep the plastic piece or go with an extended hood
also, cutting the cowl eliminates mounting points for the plastic piece

I cut up the plastic cowl part to fit my VFN hood and then I cut some aluminum and placed it over the metal cowl under the hood. I'll get pics of the aluminum piece later

Looks good. I like the black engine bay.
How is it as far as washing your guys's cars. Does the water just pour down on the engine? I'm on the fence for cutting/deleting my cowl for this reason. Is this an issue or what??
