OMP Prelude made his custom, its a functioning design which removes heat from the engine bay... refer to his thread in the picture gallery

Idk, In my opinion, too extreme of a hood would make the TL look ricey, unless it's for a purpose, like S/C or Turbo

Don't do it just for looks. If you are s/c, then it actually makes sense

The engine bay doesn't need "heat removed". The engine is designed to operate at a certain temperature that is regulated by the thermostat. If there is additional cooling on the engine from a hood scoop, the thermostat will just close a little bit to maintain the operating temperature.

A hood scoop without a S/C is just ricey.
