    What do you think?

    Hi all,
    What do you think of my hood vents? Not sure how to post pics but here is my first try. I didn't like my cheap plastic stock vents so I designed an made these. I made them out of mirror polished stainless steel. I included some links below to my autoX vids below also.

    enjoy,
    Ralph-

    Well that is something I haven't see yet.
    I think they look good.

    They aren't my taste but they are kinda neat I must admit.

    The only downside is that they don't allow hot underhood air to escape as intended.

    I think a set that look somewhat like the stock vents would also draw some interest. How are you securing them to the hood?

    Ralph,

    For some reason I remember reading that the airflow is supposed to go thru the grille opening, thru the rad and condenser and will rise up from the electric fan area. I don't know if this makes sense but who the heck knows what ford is thinking. lol

    I do like the Steeda cowl induction hood and will probably get one this winter. Don't think about copying me either Jeff!! heheheh..
