Here is how the Dawg looks after the vents were added. I have had them on for about a month now. Judging by the lesser number of times that I have had to turn on the 2nd fan, there seems to be a noticable improvement in cooling at all speeds.

Step 1: Bought Leer medium sized hood scoops and cut out the fake inlets. (Painting is optional)
Step 2: Cut three 3" holes on each side of the hood, around supports.
Step 3: Mount scoops facing backwards, using pre-attached two-sided tape.
Step 4: Go wheeling

Don't put too close to wondshield, or you will have an unwanted cowl induction effect and /or hot air going into your vent.

(Hopefully the photos will work)

I like them!! but, any reason why you did not switch the sides? So the tapers, taper out?

Just asking.

By putting the reversed scoops on this way, the air from the two vents moves out towards the sides instead of concentrating together up the middle of the hood.
