We added hood vent to Andrews oem hood. Wasn't enough interest to make a mold. We were contemplating doing the same to my gtr style hood.

How come when there is interest we can't get it made?

If you have other projects going on that include hood vents, I'd be interested in more info.
I'm not looking for something extreme, but want to help with airflow.

We are debating adding a heat extraction vent to a gtr style hood. But we will see.

How are the vents held in?

I've always wondered this, what happens if douches decides to dump a whole bottle of water into the vents?

I had an evo 9. Huge hole in the middle of the hood. Water would go in and after letting it sit after rain/wash for a few hours you couldnt tell it ever got wet. This was talked about a lot at evoM and everyone seemed to agree that the placement of the vent/and the materials use in the engine bay, water wasnt going to do damage.

EDIT: I havent washed my car since the seibon GTR hood went on....I am making a plan involving trays to catch the majority of the water that will enter the bay.

where and who did ur hood? I want to do mines like yours. How much to get it done? Anyone know a place that can do this in Houston?

Hood, plus paint +|- 1000 dallaru.

Thread revival..

Thinking about doing this but my main concern is, will the heat from cutting through the hood damage the paint and cause it to start peeling or cracking?

Also - which gtr hood scoops did you purchase. eBay has one selling less than 200$

Go slow and don't use a grinding wheel.

:iagree: You should also tape off the outer edge of your cut lines. Cutting a hood is not that big of a deal, when the vents or scoop you decide to use is in-place, it will cover any non straight cuts (within reason of course) with the flange of the vent on the top side of the hood. But the straighter the cut the better it will look under the hood ;)
