Thanks! For now the rear of section of the front undertray is retained; as the splitter can only be 4 feet long (they don't make ABS sheets larger than that). Eventually ALL of these parts will be molded/vacuformed and made with carbonfiber. Then itll be possible to make them any size.
Even with many parts being carbon, I'll likely keep the front splitter 3/8" ABS Plastic as it is rigid, yet flexible and cheap. (It is only 1/8" plastic now; so it needs to get a bit thicker and protrude out farther for the actual track use)

That is definitely on my wish list at the moment. A vented hood will definitely help with heat, and reduce some drag at the same time. Doing that will also allow me to seal off the hood-windsheild gap; further improving aero. And yes, I'm running very hot...oil temps easily being 280* w/o meth....even with the AR Oil cooler. With meth Oil temp stays around 265ish.
