Message	First off, the hood isn't going to absorb much energy in a head on collision. I would even venture to say that it is totally inconsequential in a front end collision. Second, the hood would cost well over $1000 to fabricate over aluminum. Third, the heat dissipation benefits of aluminum are MORE than offset by the cooling effects of the vents. I'm guessing you're an engineer of sorts.. "So I nailed it, took off like an F18 from carrier. Of course the chase begained." -Tim_N/A 04/07/03 "You're right, oil filtration is not important.
