Hood Extractor for Downforce

[truegearhead]

Not very scientific but I just made it as big as I could while still keeping the transition from the front of the car smooth (still not as big as Porsche 911 RSR's hood extractor (see below)). Also nothing scientific about the radius, I just cut and bent the hood to where I wanted it (again smooth transition from the opening in the grill) and then cut a punch of cardboard up to make templates. Once I had templates I liked I traced them onto aluminum and used a jigsaw to cut the shapes out. To make the 90s I used a dremel to edge in a line and then used a hammer the 90 degree bends in. If you moved the brake fluid reservoir you could get closet to the Porsche design

Great innovation. It's always nice to have a spare hood around. How about cutting deeper and having a bump/cowling for the brake reservoir?

Not a bad idea. I think if I were to do it again I’d relocate just the reservoir which I don’t think would be too hard. The hood will more than likely not hing anymore it’ll have to be removed so it would be nice to move the reservoir inside the car.

Actually does anyone know if this is possible? The stock reservoir has two nipples on the bottom so theoretically I could just move it into the cabin and run lines (as long as it was higher than the master cylinder). What do you all think?
