What if you take off the grill and make a solid lid with louvers punched in it? On water cooled cars you dont need the grill for engine cooling and the louvers would let heat out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

Interesting idea. I've seen lids with the standard grill, plus louvers in the solid portion. Looked nice. Go for it, and post pics. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Larry, ever think of a plexyglass lid to display the engine (like the glass ones on lots of ferrari's), I mean a 928 engine in a 914 is rather unique, I've only seen 1 other. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I like the Lexan idea... Now you have me thinking.
Lexan is cheap, and I can drill holes in it. Or, I can even borrow a router and do slots. Maybe if I do the whole thing one piece, I can only have each section half about half as much air passages, since there will be two... Any ideas? |

The only heat would go out those louvers is after you turn off the motor. When it is running the motor draws fresh cool air in those louvers and OEM grill. And those louvers look cool but out of range of the rain gaurd tray under the grill and almost over the distributer. Not good in rainy fla.
