Title: Hood inserts
Post by: Priesty on July 11, 2020, 03:23:46 PM
Wondering if anyone has ever seen these open hood inserts. Saw them recently on a 'Cuda down her in Oz. They looked almost factory moulded, thought maybe there was aftermarket versions available?

As far as I know they have never made those aftermarket although I did have a set of custom ones that had the fins sliced in between unless you looked real well they look just like OEM
Unfortunately I have heard that they also cause overheating problems which coincidentally that 'Cuda also had

I actually took mine out & replaced them with some black mesh, also hard to spot & that helped with my over heating problems. Shame I can't find the pictured ones, as they look like a real neat solution, if they were home made they were very well finished.
:dunno:
