Default DRM Heat Extractor Hood installed... PIX inside...

I finally got a chance to take some pix of the Hood & post them. This is the hood that "was" on NO MERCY's car (Literally) before he changed to the Carravagio stuff. Thx Bill. I had it painted & mounted about 2 weeks ago. The hood has been tested to over 190+, according to DRM. (we'll test that, shortly. hehehe)
It is functional. When I'm sitting at a stop light, you can actually see the heat billowing out of the vents. Pretty cool. I have noticed that under hood temps are significantly reduced. The fit is pretty good. I've got a few adjustments to make, but nothing major. I've included some pix... check it out.
I also installed T1 Sway Bars that I had Powder Coated Red. I will post pix of them shortly.

Cool! Is it functional?? Any mods necessary to make it extract heat?
Paint looks good. Was the match perfect to your eye? Going to do some custom paintwork someday..

Is that hood like the BPP Hood, ie... a stock hood with scoops, or is it a brand new totally new... hood?

Thx guys

Mellow: The hood is functional "as is", No mods necessary.

New Vette: Unless I'm mistaken, this is NOT a stock hood that was modified. It is a completely new piece.

One question, can you use the factory heat shield? If not, does it come with one of it's own?
