Mercedes benz 1991 300ce(RIP), now an 89 300ce
hood vent
i found this site and i was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these.
http://performance.drivewire.com/getparts/index.aspx?pdef=Hood%20Vent|Mercedes-Benz|300CE|1991||||||Exterior%20Accessories
i was thinking that if i got it installed i could reroute my intake to the hood vent. but im not so sure i would want to invest in something i havent seen. so any ideas? thanks again

MBWorld Fanatic!
Your intake already scoops cold air next to the grille.
Installation as you imagine will reduce your car's resale value to zero.

I think he's talking about this one...it's more general than car specific.

probably something like that. is it possible to retrofit it to the hood and use it as an actual intake?

Hmmm
it's a good idea specially if it's going to be painted
it looks like the old "Datsun ZX turbo" hood scoop
You'll have to CUT your bonnet!
The problem that you'll have to sort out is (how to prevent water from coming inside the air filter under the hood?)
