Post a picture of YOUR car and i'll give you my shitty opinion

Then you may want to put it back the way it is. At the very base of the cowl, there is a negative pressure zone, and airflow is actually going into the engine bay. This slightly increases the airflow going into the engine bay from the rear and pressurizes the engine bay. This impedes airflow through the radiator at speed, and increases drag, AND increases front end lift. The air flowing into the engine bay at the base of the hood is how a ducted cowl induction system works. A guy on Rx-7 club removed the rear weatherstripping under the rear of the hood in his FC and measured higher water temperature due to lack of radiator airflow. If you want hot air to escape, as well as reduce front end lift, put it back, and cut a vent about 5 or 6 inches away from the base of the windshield. I hate how people do this hood "mod" without knowing the physics behind it, it also looks like shit, and should only ever be done for clearance.

you pretty much just owned him

Yeah, there is a reason manufacturers don't just cut a few holes/make passages back there from the factory.

I'll play,

I'll play,

the black wheels with white lip got old. I guess its still ok for a focus. What kind of stickers are those? They might add to your drag coefficient. I would remove them. Is that a ADM muffler i see angled downwards? how much hp did you gain from that? Your front tire looks flat so i would suggest keeping an eye on tire pressure like you are supposed to. Good thing you didnt show me a picture of the interior because i would probably barf. As long as it gets you to point B, however, it gets my approval. Just dont add more autozone shit to it

mbrp full exhaust and pointed straight out. lip on the wheels is polished, shitty pic quality. interior is stock. No auto zone shit on the car. stickers on the car are focus forums (use to be cool to have stickers, lol) to lazy to take them off. I'll check on the tire pressure, it is pullin a little. But thanks for the opinion.
