Not a bad mod for $5. I dont really like the way it looks though. What about an aluminum hood with vents already in it? Or a Carbon Fiber hood just painted over to match the rest of the car?

i've heard of people unbolting the hood from the hinges and inserting a few washers to rais the hood in the back, in effect producing a cowl hood. havent done it, or seen it on an eclipse though.
in theory it would work. air rushing in through the front, hot air getting sucked out the top/back.
