The couple pics I saw on google showed some clips and a couple studs for attachment, can you post some pics of the back side?
I think some dense foam rubber would be your best bet for a seal and looks.
You could probably attach it with the good thin 3m tape. It would make it stick up like .040 but if you did a nice bath tub style caulk job with some black rtv, it should look fine. I agree that the rivets will make it wavy, maybe even crack it.
David,
If your funding is unlimited I'd take a serious look at designing a better intercooler that does not interfere with the radiator as much. http://www.bellintercoolers.com/
I've priced out some liquid/air solutions that would fit in the factory IC position and have nearly the same depth as a double IC for approximately $1000~. The idea being that it would free up air flow into the radiator and increase engine bay space. The radiator for it can easily be mounted else where and the liquid tank could go into a position similar to the 94+ Thunderbird coolant overflow tanks.
maybe its a good time to bust out and upgrade to the late model 96/97 hood and front end no ridges... ???
What does the length of the vent measure? There are some pics of vents in this thread that have been cut down or just using the center section. http://forums.corral.net/forums/road-racing-auto-x/622922-functional-hood-vents-3.html
Cutting off the ends and just using the center section like this guy did would make it a whole lot easier. At full length I'm going to have to cut into the hood bracing too.
I think that from a distance the vent looks a lot better when cutting out the center section like this guy did, but up close it's not so nice.
Which one do you guys think would look better ?
David
I vote for the one like the mustang has
