Yeah, and if I could decide what color to make the vents, I would have vents in my hood...but geeesh, it's taken me years to figure out what gauges I wanted...

I would match the car.

bpd does not have holes in his engine cover...his is a one off custom carbon fiber engine cover. And I don't think he wanted holes in it, as it is one of the really sharp things for use at car shows.

Did I not understand Dave right?

Is he talking about the cover on the engine or the fire mat on the hood?

I thought he was talking about the fire mat--which is my whole point in my posts. If he's talking about the engine cover than everything I said was pointless.

BTW; getting carbon fiber on engine cover is easy -- lots of places that do that hydroplast crap; I was even considering it.

Someone has to give BPD a run for his money and knock his rear off that big ass podium. ;)

I was going matte but changed it; I'm going to have them match my paint so it "disappears" in the hood.

I know Dave can speak for himself, but I understood he meant the actual engine cover, not the hood mat....although I think removing the mat would increase underhood noise...I guess it depends whether or not you like the noise from the engine compartment.
