Turbo Hood...

That's a turbo hood and the holes were to let out the heat from the turbos that most people did NOT have.

I thought that hood was pretty decent until I saw one in real life. I almost puked all over it (it was canary yellow too, which made it worse.)

Look up their "big block" hood.....that's what I'm considering for my car.

I could only imagine...
IMO, that hood is nasty! Looks like someone took a cowl hood, iroc hood, and spliced them together
