[DeTomaso] Screen above front of engine

[Boyd Casey]

I concur with Bill, many people run with no screen, I personally like the
fact that I (as well as others ) can see the engine ( like on many other
unnamed mid engine exotics) . I think there is also a practical reason for
setting the screen aside, you can get access to cooler air for your intake
which equates to more horsepower. If you ever sell your car( God forbid!)
you can always revert to the stock setup if your buyer is a Pantera purist.
