Vented Hood Inserts Intrest

Now you guys can be the expert and tell me which direction is correct lol!

I saw that the louvers would be turned in the opposite direction, but the piece would flow with the hood better if it were turned around. Is it possible that they built the louvers backwards? Or is it that you placed them up side down? Shouldn't the louvers be pointing down into the hood and not sticking up? Like in this pic (looking from windshield down the hood).

It's hard to see from the pictures how you have them oriented.

Just wondering, not questioning you or the product. I am sure all will be clear once we see it on Eagles hood.

This may be the thing we talked about...function over form

You are right about the direction of vents, looking at other products, they flow well with hood lines, and those 370 vents, if they are turned they will flow with our hoods as well.

The direction is correct, but I think Hotrodz has them upside down. Those vent support bars need to be pointing into the hood. If the vents are turned upside down, then I think they will also need to be turned 180°, and will follow the hood lines. Or I could be wrong since I am not there.

That may be correct...I am not at home so I will check this afternoon.

Hey you disfunctional unit.

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.

So let me get on the band wagon you "Fart Smuckers!" Yeah the orientation was right but I dyslexia was in full force as I did place them upside down LMAO. So we all win! And that is why I did not go into engineering and it has been a long time since I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express!

Thanks for all your patience and feel free to continue to pile on as I deserve it!

Can’t wait to see how they look installed in the right orientation. Will you be mounting them on the top or from the bottom?

They are mounted from the top.That is part of the reason for my confusion lol. They are inset!

These are made out of aluminium?

How soon before we can actually order them?

Thanks. I was looking at some pictures on a Corvette forum and they looked aluminum, but oddly enough I couldn't find this info on their website. Perhaps I overlooked it.

I'm interested, let us know when they actually have them ready.
