Cool, Just make sure you coat any cut edges with a rust inhibitor. My preference was Cold galvanizing paint.

I did paint all the cut area's. I did notice if u push hard in front or behind u can get metal to flex.
The vent is very solid guess i'll look in to 3m window glue or maybe couple more braces. I think it looks nice and clean, going to order bottom tray. Hopefully can make that work too. So far i have 150.00 in vent and a trip to hardware store.

Here are some more pictures

looks great!!!!! mine will be here tues, I think when I cut the hole out im going to leave metal front and rear to drill and put the studs through and a hoop of metal on the side studs. I also got the rain guard but I don't know if it will work with the v6 engine cover, I hope so.....lol

but both of you guys hoods look awesome

also did you use the measures that he had in the write up??

I did use his numbers and cut so tight i had to trim to get vent to drop in and sit straight.

The sound deading padding is going to get cut alot smaller than the hole in hood.

I wanted to do what you are talking about also, but when you get the extractor you will see the studs are lower that the top of the hood. Check ou the hood.
