Thats Differant

Unfortunatly it wouldn't be good for most of us that have our hoods under snow for months on end, and drive in month after month of rain. I don't think I'd want the Spring Clean-Up Job on that motor after a NY winter, but for the people that live where it don't snow and hardly rains, I guess it could be an option ???

reminds me of a simpsons episode:
Homer stabbing holes in his hood with a screw driver.
Flanders: "what are those homer?"
Homer: "speed holes"
Flanders: "diddly doodly, can I have some too?"

Exclamation

The worst thing about the hood is the fact that every time it rains your sparkplug holes will get water in them. That would be bad.

Thumbs up

I thought you L guys would appreciate the work that it takes to put those in. No accounting for taste with you guys, huh? I think it looks badass, plus how many of you really drive your Lightnings in the winter?? Hmmm? Fess up, lol!!,,,,98

And his engine is probably a good 40* cooler to boot, hehe

Atleast hes different... but... not different in a good way for my taste. I guess if it kept the engine that much cooler, than that look would be worth it... but does it really work well? If not, Id rather have the stocker on than that! Wheels look sweet though..
