Thanks Bill. Now I've spent more time daydreaming on how to effectively route air through the front fenders, then on what paint scheme i'm gonna have for my car!
Nice and clean looking. A bit large for my aesthetic taste (would prefer two smaller split vents before dropping cash)
but what matters is if it is functional for what you need. Did you lay out and fab that up yourself? If so, good job.

Actually not my car, it belongs to the guy who built my 2nd gen 3sgte before I owned my MR2 (long story). Saw it at a car show once and he sent me a link to his photobucket about my engine build (previous owner had him build the 2nd gen). Looking through I can find all of the pictures about how he ducted it. It's a complete radiator exit, unlike the Border hood, which only a small percentage of the radiator exits through the hood.
Yeah they both look like they would work but I'm trying to do something bigger, vent opening the size of a rad. Probably have to do something more custom.
Advan Designs (advancarbon.com) lists a vented hood for the MKII which appears to be much different from the Border-style vented hoods.
It is also available at carbonsignature.com and from vividracing.com.
All 3 sites use the same stock photo. Does anyone have additional photos of this hood...
Due to the fact that no one will ever produce the JGTC style body for the MKII in the USA or anywhere else for that matter. I decided to think of ideas of grafting on the NSX widebody to an MR2 chassis. I did some playing around in photoshop, and using a photo of an NSX with photoshopped...
The research was done by Deno and Bruce Plumley. Bruce noticed dust tracks that were left on the rear of the MK1. This showed the airflow. By moving the spoiler back a few inches the spoiler can be put into a position to better attack the air flow.
Many Plumley Spoilers have been built over...
