Default Cold Air Vented Hood for cone filter... Would you buy it?
<center><img src="http://www.hastyscarcountry.com/images/VentHood.jpg"></center><p>I am working on the design of a hood for my A4 1.8T.

I will use the Ferrari racing style aero vent.

Getting cold air to my cone filter will be a breeze.

Would anyone be interested in purchasing them if I make it????

PS I created the photo above it is not real... yet

Default might not be bad though if you really really really think about it...
I mean hey I love getting my air filter as dirty as possible... as well as my engine bay.

Default Why not a front mounted intake instead?......
Why change the beautiful hood when there is a grill on the front of the car designed for air intake? Build a custom ram air scoup above or below the bumper. Just and idea.
