Didn't want to push our luck, since your were nice enough to bring us back suitcases full of stuff already....

Actually, it would have been a great idea David....gotta blame Kody for not having impulse buy back then...

Great job on the build! It's a thrill seeing your attention to detail on every aspect of your F. Modding an F should be pretty easy for future F owners, since they can see most of the parts available on your ride already. Can't wait to see what's next!

Thanks , not much else to do , hopefully a fine tuned 25 to 30 rwhp added on that would be very sweet

This really turned out nice. It is close to the look of the TRD hood but somewhat more aggressive. When you get a chance would you be willing to post pics of what it looks like on the underside of the hood. Did you remove the hood liner or cut and retain it and cut holes in it?

David,
More info on these please. Curious as to the dimensions and whether they have the rain guards, similar to Kody's

Also, on a related note. Was looking at an LFA at my local dealer yesterday and noted that its hood vents had no guards and you looked straight through the mesh to the engine bay. The snorkle hole that comes up against the bottom of the hood vent only takes up a small percentage of the opening. Just providing this for context. I realize that few LFA owners will be driving their cars in inclement weather (when they drive them at all) but, I dont think Lexus designed the car with the assumption that this would be the case 100% of the time. Although, there may be other things done under the hood to parts/components to fend off the elements that are coming through those hood openings.
