Default ACP louvered air extractor hood. Picture.

Just installed my new carbon hood. Pretty nice. The splitter is not mounted yet.

How do you plan on mounting the overlay splitter? Hood looks cool.... wish you could get it w/o the higher cowl.

Not sure yet on the mounting. I think I'll post the question and find out. Plus I need to make a undertray for it. Needs to be removable too.

I think he means it's not permanently installed, just set in place for the pictures.

Pop-rivets



Removable will be a challenge, but good luck.

when I originally installed the overlay the radiator opening was 3" tall



But it ran HOT.

so with talking to Kerry, I cut the radiator opening and front facia to 5"



No overheating issues now.

You'll have to post if there is any noticeable increase in down force
