Vented hood/custom belly pan :D

was going through My Pictures, came across an old friend's friend who is also kinda friend of mine's ex car. he's honda'd now(S2000) but this was a monster.

hyundai beta 2.0 engine 28psi (no not tires), parallel twin turbo 450hp to the wheels

his case, he had no way of dealing with underhood temperature/oil temp so he ended up chopping body panels .
and the belly pan was for downforce and it worked like a charm(previously it looked like a highschooler's tiburon except for wheels+ADvan07 & lowered stance)

i was wondering...... that'd look badass on my car plus my front bumper + hood could use a repaint so....

how do you think that'll look on a TL?





originally he had this but saw 250F oil temp and freaked because,, he wanted to sustain 20min @ 28psi anyway.
the end result


all the images belong to him. all rights reserved.

Having done a lot of these mods and fab'd a lot of custom aero parts for my car, I can tell you it'll cost you twice as much and take 3 times as long as you think and you'll probably never get EXACTLY what you're looking for. But hey, if you want it, you'll make it happen. Just be prepared for second guessing yourself lol

wouldn't you like to add some more aggressive to your "Elegant Aggressor" ?
