Non-functional vents -- Looks only I guess.

Taitec never makes something not functional.
A cover that lets air through but not water?hmmm Not that it matters but you get water spray from the bottom of the car anyway.

One of our Prime members is working on a closed underbody construction in combination with a vented hood. I guess this would prevent the spray from the bottom.
BTW: I don't like the look of this Taitec hood, I prefer my one-scoop Taitec NSX-R copy, but that's just a matter of taste - don't know about the functional differences.
I should have brushed up on my NSX knowlege before asking this, but what exactly is there in the front that needs venting?
Has nothing to do with venting but all to do with aerodynamics hense, downforce.

the front vending should help cooling radiator and other stuff in there?
I know that you should have vending for some function because JGTC cars have one too. Not for aerodynamics, if you want front downforce, usually you can put canard on front bumper.

I think "vending" from a moving vehicle is against the law in most states. :biggrin:Timpo said:

Looks like the wooden blinds I grew up seeing in my parents windows.Looks kinda like an add on. Just my 3cents
Not a fan of the louvres - don't like it, sorry!

Agreed! The "new style" reminds me of a Fire Bird or Camaro.
"Cut a hole, stick a scoop on. Now it's a upgraded model!" Not clean at all.
I like the old hood way better.

The angled scoops look so much sexier...they're much rounder with that little lip around hte outside and not just a straight angle lift in the body around the louvers.
I just think that those scoops that close together, straight on, and with the hard edges looks horrible
My vote goes to the old hood.
Feel the old hood has a cleaner look. IMO
Anyone know where I can find one in the states?

He said he doesn't carry them anymore. :frown:peter said:
i LOVE the single nsx-r vented hood in comparison to those with the vents/louvers...
I guess its just personal taste, but for me the vented louvered ones look pretty good on widebody cars with alot of mods.
