The front 4 helped my oil temps greatly, it used to climb fast any time I stopped but it's very slow now and as soon as I start moving it starts dropping. They haven't been tested side by side so no one knows what hood works best on our cars but I promise you it's not a show piece, if it was I would have already replaced it!
Lol but you just proved my point. It is a show piece. You've already blocked off the back two going from a show piece to a more function piece. And it doesn't matter where the vents are in stopped traffic. Any vent on the hood will keep temps from climbing to fast since there's no movement of air when stopped, heat WILL pour out as hot air rises. The important thing is when moving does it work? With the back two blocked off I say yes.
