Late to the party but I am in. I was trying to figure how to cut my hood to get extra cooling at track without ruining the look :D Great to have experts do the job

I'm in if they look good. Looking for some air flow here in AZ for my SC, Z.

Late to the party but I am all in for a functional vent setup as I am reworking the entire front end of the car over winter to increase cooling ability.

vil9j 08-04-2017 02:35 PM

Interested . waiting to see how it looks on the vehicle

Lol I hope they are what we all are looking for. I will see what kind of group buy or introductory price we can get once John is done finalizing everything!

I'm interested. Even without forced induction the heat gets trapped under the hood. And if they add some style it's just icing on the cake :-)

:yum: Same here.. Maybe I will add a carbon fiber treatment to the added hood vents for my 2010 Nismo :drool:


So who going to cut up their hood first here :wtf2:

I have a spare hood if anyone needs one

socce 08-04-2017 06:11 PM

In for group buy if quality and functional

Kzonts 08-04-2017 06:12 PM

I cut a hole in my friends Mustang hood a few years back. We installed a shaker hood scoop. Measure twice, cut once. LOL

He was much more nervous than I was...

Based on my experience working on my car with someone else, the someone else is always less nervous.

Eagle will be the first and I maybe the second. Both of us have oem hoods we don't use so we have no worries!

Nope they're just teasing so far

I am interested, can't wait to see pics!!!

I was just researching this idea, then found this thread. What are the opinions on the 'vette-style hood vent at this link: https://www.carid.com/apr-performanc...ood-vents.html Anyone good with Photoshop to see what it would look like on a Z?

Would require some creative fabrication, and maybe trimming on the under-hood frame.

Another idea that could work in concert with such a hood vent is a shroud that fits around the radiator/intercooler and snugs tight against the vent when the hood is closed.

Hotrodz 08-10-2017 11:51 PM

This project is well under way and we are eagerly awaiting the first pictures of the design. Stay tuned.

John just got back to me, fabrication is done...he expects to pick the vents up this week which he means he'll be making a trip to my house to pick up my hood soon. Expect more details in the coming week or two.

Can't wait to see why they came up with. I could use some venting here in AZ for my SC Z.

Yup, eagerly awaiting some pics :)

Hotrodz 08-19-2017 11:58 PM

I've been looking at their vents as well. Please let me know soon!!!! Ready to pull the trigger

No promise but maybe this week... ;)

Here is something to consider as well. I increased the flow of air into my front bumper as suggested by Chase and others and the results are awesome. It was over a 100* at Auto Club Speedway and my water temperature never exceeded 220 and my oil temp high was 240*.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e449600c50.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cca898feb7.jpg
