BTW the RX8 has a laid down rad at about a 45 degree angle. Perfect
for a top of the hood exit duct. I am thinking of going in to business
making carbon fiber hoods with a proper rad air exit duct for RX8s :)

Just make sure you can keep the rain and snow out somehow! That would
call for a blocking plate of some sort, no?

Snow maybe but rain won't hurt it. There will be a curved shield (part
of the exit duct) in front of the engine. The snow should melt.
