Got bored after watching the Mike Tyson fight one of my all time faverates in the ring not outside the ring ,just to make that clear.He was winning the fight and quit in the 7th round at the age of 38 I beleive the legend is done.Anyway back to the hood mod, I decided to open up the vents and trimmed the hood blanket,I cut the holes a little bigger than I had to so water wood drain straight down instead of running down the back side of hood blanket and probably cause it to get pretty nasty. I was really supprized it was totaly painted under the blanket whitch is rare on theese cars but I decided I wanted the hood blanket on .I used some flex trim to cover the edges and cleaned up the blanket.I think it came out pretty good it should let alot of the hot air out of there now.I left the shields on that went behind the grills and just bent them back that way on those heavy rainy days I can fold it backup.Well just got a little bored and decided to do something a little constructive.Theres is a another mod I completed but i'll never tell

Nah, EOM would have one hole larger than the other, or some other problem. Nice touch....
