What do you think?

I like the stock hood. Maybe you can get a crown air filter and put it on the dash also. LOL

I will post up a bad ass pic later of the hood that I like. It really does look killer!

Good point Mark, so you push air thru the front (rad/cond) up and out before going over the motor. Sounds like they may be smarter than we (opps I) think, hehehe.


Jeff,
They are held in the pocket with double sticky tape. I don't know if you ever popped the existing vents out but it's real easy, I am surprised they don't pop out. They don't have much incentive to move in the pocket so they should be fine. The tape I used is 3M tape that is heat resistent, flexable and is used to hold tractor trailer fenders on... It's really high quality tape, I purchased thicker tape so if you want to remove them you can fit a razor between the tape thickness also the tape conforms to the car better. I didn't put the tape all the way around so when you wash your car it won't sit there in the corners. You can see the install and the vent pocket in my video.

I am thinking I might do a black powder coated steel version with a more open pattern than stock probably between the billetflow and stock. I would be trying to balance being open but not seeing inside.


short version of the install:

Ralph,

I just watched the video, very nice work!

I didn't realise that the vents were open at all until I saw the video. At first it looked to me like they were painted black on there and not laser cut thru. I actually like them a lot better now that I've taken a closer look!

Like Jeff said you really ought to sell them. Have you thought about how much a set would cost if you did sell them?
