quick question
these look great just wondering if he did any pressure testing to see if these points are actually low pressure areas so we can guarantee air comes out

I don't know if any actual test were done or it was computer simulated. When I looked at where the SpecTrac vents line up compared to my Fugimora hood they are spot on. The only difference is the SpecTrac vents are way bigger.

Those look real nice, even if they are upside down. My hood needs a repaint anyway due to some rock chips and freaking luv bugs. I need to clear bra the whole dang car.

What the hell is up with the orientation of the vents in the photos? They look like they were mocked up by a opossum

LMAO....and just for everyone's information I won't be doing the installation because I would probably put them in sideways and backwards lol!

Sideways and backwards, probably not a good selling point

Love the vents though.

After you get home from your ball game. Flip the vents over so the the center bar is down. Position the middle vent with the small side in the front. Think the small vents need to be swapped side the side. The left on the right and right on the left. See how that looks. From looking at the new pictures. You have them up side down and asss backwards.

the side vents are doing what ?

Next question is are you place it after the radiator or on top of the timing cover?

Hopefully the side vents end up over that air gap to the sides of the engine and help reduce pressure and extract hot air from that area.
Dying to see the parts installed. I didn't find any pics on the company's intagram for the Z.

What DarkJak said and yes the hood vent leading edge should be just about 13" to 15" from the front the hood which would place it just beyond the radiator. That is if you trust my measurements. I actually took measurements from Fugi hood vents and the placement of the radiator from the front of the hood.
