Do you mean the channels on the underside of the hood? It's a polyurithane hood so I think it would mess it up pretty much if I did that and they're not hitting at all, it's that center vent. I thought about cutting that out, but if it rained, it would get into some pretty vital spots. I've been thinking of getting a CF hood anyway so this gives me a reason. Please pass the word on the sale of this hood.

Thanks for the support!!!
