Hood venting???

Isn't that the brabus W211 EV12 hood? I was thinking about doing it but I still haven't figured out how to keep the water (rain) out of the engine bay. I need to find a way to regulate the water away from the engine but let the air go to the engine...Keep me posted Peter

I think it looks like crap. Might as well go buy a $4,000 rustang that runs 9's with a 12' hoodscoop. IMO, the beauty of the E is that it's a total sleeper. Vent the hood, add some 20's, throw on the curbfeelers, and turn up Vanilla Ice for instant cheese.

i did start a thread but i hadnt seen this pic. and from benz boi i learned its from brabus. no i know a company to contact who has done this and see if there is any benefit. since there was nothing learned from the first thread, this new information, for me at least has been extremely helpful. as far as rustangs its just a moi, i like my car to flash to go with the dash, others dont, and thats perfectly cool too.
