    yeah, I guess you could just open it up. I think you and I just have a different idea of what functional is. I think of functional as performing a function. Like providing air, cooling etc. oh well :) yeah, opening it up would help with the hood lifting issues

    Even if it’s not ‘functional’ - if you think it looks good just do it. Who gives a $*#% what others think or say :) You’re the one that has to look at it every day.

    Actually, I think it does! one of the valves is already leaking and causing rough(er) idle. I replaced a laundry list of parts, finally taking it to a toyota specialist the other day thinking at 182k she needed a valve adjustment - going to see if I can get the ol’ girl through the winter then see where the funds are for new head...+ super charger..While I just happen to be in the region tinkering.

    Love the hood dump! wicked custom, but agreed a scoop or dump will let unwanted crap in...in our case being in the north road salt being our worst enemy!
