Hi all!
After I installed the turbo, I wanted to make a ventilation hood. Firstly, it will improve the blowing of the main radiator. And secondly, it will highlight the look of the car.
However, I do not advocate extreme tuning. But I like how it is carried out for the EVO X. And I wanted to do the same.
Ventilation hood for the EVO X consists of 3 parts. This two grids and one big nostril. I decided to do only the lattice.

I bought the hood. Checked the clearances. You can continue.

So, proceed. First you have to apply the markup.

Then begin to cut.

The metal is very thin. Welding should be carried out very carefully.

While that's all. I think I will finish before the end of the week. To be continued.
Nice
Cant wait to see this done, Looks Great!
Thanks guys. I try.
Looking good. I like where this is going.
Honestly, I would LOVE to see some photos of the underside. Mind posting a few?
This is pretty cool! Good job on fabricating and doing something different!
U got some skills
Got any mock up picks if it on the car
Now the hood painted.

This weekend will set the hood on the car. This will make the photo shoot.
Dude... that's quality work! Looks amazing.
Thank you! This is only the first 10 years of hard, then of course everything turns out. Heh hehQuote:

However, I don't like everything. I think we need to make some changes. But it's probably in a couple of months.
Looking very good! It looks like it was a factory option.
As far as you not liking something, its probably the chrome on the grill, I would color match the outside with a black mesh. Also your ride height, but seeing as you have to deal with snow then thats probably as low as it gets. But trust me for a 9G, a gold one at that, it's coming along nicely!
That is great work as always Stas! You have great attention to detail. It looks as if it was always an option on the Galant.
Nicest 9g I've seen
Thanks guys!
Now I'll write what I don't like. The hood has a convex shape. So there is an optical effect which I don't like. If you look at the engine from the side or rear of the grid are at the same level. But when viewed from the top or front, it seems that the lattice are at an angle. That's what I don't like.
What would this fix the problem, it is necessary to deepen in the center and put the grid in one level.
That came out perfect. I do however have a slight variation on the suggested idea of painting the grille, what about leaving the outer part and emblem as is, but painting the honeycomb part the same color as the hood vents? Your call in the end of course, but while we're throwing ideas out there, it's just a thought.
A few photos of how it looks on the car.

I agree with oakrdrs, but thats some seriously good fabrication, looks like it came from the factory like that. Nice work
I like it
Very nice work and the detail..
Not bad Bro like the air flow sockets
i'd seriously be willing to pay for you to make me one. :bigsmile:
