I've thought about venting the hood, but don't want paint problems. tia JasonS 2000 Silver Frost SVT #1119 of 2150 Eibach Springs / Corbeau Forza II Seat / TRW Sabelt 5-point belts / Pegasus Brake Ducts / Braided Steel Brake Lines/KVR pads / Black SVT Rims / Mirko Racing Front Airdam / Clear Corners / Knauberized Best Lap Road Atlanta: 1:56.1 -stock KDW tires!!
