DLVRNIT: Could be a "Coolaid optical extrusion". Put the bottle down. "Moon"

 

I don't know Moon, close friends have said your blind in one eye and can't see out of the other .....

Peace.....

 

I have found another way[beside hood scoop] to get cool air into the air box.
Bear with me on this one, and try to picture it.
I trimmed off the back up curvature of the plastic panel that blocked off the air flow to the engine compartment at the radiator. When trimmed it is a straight shot directly at the air box. By spacing the air box lid up, you get a second cool airflow into the air box, along with the stock setup. Take a good look and see what I'm talking about.
Unfortunately, I had already drilled holes in my hood, when I put my scoop on, with the idea of making it functional, before I found this new path out. Oh well, at least I think the scoop adds a little "Badness" to the car. "Moon"

 

Hee.Hee. Pray tell me where you found any close friends to me. I've been looking for them for almost seventy years now.
As to eyesight: Yeah, I'm blind. I do everything by braile[feels better...if you get my drift]. "Moon"

 

No, but I'd be happier than a tick on a dog, if someone would start making smoother bumpers. Nothing fancy, just hack off the bumps frotn and rear.

 

Thanks for the input, cowl induction type definitly seems to be the preference. I'm going to have to play with it a bit to get the right look. The hood will definitly be functional, i dont see any reason to go through that much work not to be.

 

Ok then i would say a rounded hump is better, tapered a little wider at the rear open end to fit with the existing body lines.
Slightly off topic - I guess I dont really understand cowl induction, seems like it would want to suck air out from the hood using negative pressure. Whereas a forward facing scoop forces more air in. Anyone feel like educating me?

 

A cowl induction hood would look good.

Didn't that PT guy offer one for the HHR at one time?

I am interested in this depending on costs of course. A full swap out hood.

 

It almost HAS to be like this

Anything else wont flow with the car.

Smooth bumper FTW!

WWW.CUSTOMCRUZERS.COM sells that hood.

 

There's got to still be a few of those hoods floating around...... that car looks great, BTW...... Diggin the flames.
