lol looks great

id love to do it but not sure lol :P

 

Hey man thanks for the little tip on doing it. Now mine done now also...i though bout it a while ago but i said naww lol but yeah i love having it done now

 

hah nice, glad It helped in your decision!

 

That looks awesome! Wish I had a Powerdome hood.

 

^ you do... 01 + have powerdome hoods...

 

not quite the same though. the dome on mine forms back into the hood.

 

oh, didn't know that... my bad...

 

yeah and yours is metal i think right?

 

Im pretty sure its metal. cant remember right now.

 

How much do powerdome hoods cost?

 

hey andy you prob cant but can you see or feel a diff or anything???

 

Looks great!

I need to PDH my Mazda.

 

I get a little bit better heat transfer out of it. When I'm stopped the fan pushes some nice hot air out.

 

this mod is insulting. Half of us powerdome guys wander outside and realize our hoods are a diff style of powerdome than Andy's.

 

I've been thinking of drilling holes. I think thats how all Goodmark hoods come.

 

haha my bad brah

 

obviously I'm digging this one up...Just did it today, except as it is right now I only made the hole as wide as the cross member that you need to cut, so its only in the middle. Also, I'm assuming you left that insulator out right?

 

I bought scotts and he gutted the crossmembers out... its very flimsy. my insulater is gone

 

Yeah I cut Scott's hood for him, I didn't really like it. Like Chris said its flimsy. You will also get rain on your motor when its just sitting in the rain.

 

its a fiberglass hood.. they are flimsy, dont sit on it. And i never had problems with water getting in.

 

I think I'll leave it the way i have it now then. It's not too flimsy since most of it is in tact (minus the cross member). But obv. i wont sit on it lol. I have to say though, I'm glad I did it just cutting the center of the hood cause one, you can't see it from the sides and two it keeps the engine quite a bit cooler.

And really, i could care less about the noise insulator, havn't noticed a difference without it.

 

was thinking of cutting out just a small part of the crossbrace in the middle, maybe like 6" or so

 

anyone know if a powerdome will fit a 2000 or does it require swapping front ends?

 

yes it fits. Search tab is your friend haha
